Hi there,

This is my first post here. I saw on someone webpage people keeping fresh water stingray and it look so cool. So i am posting to inquire about this pet.


I am interested to keep the following ;


1. "P1" - Potamotrygon Motoro
Orange Spotted Stingray

if that species is not available, i am looking for this species.


2. Himantura chaophraya , fresh water stingray common to south east asia.

My question is the following;

1. Where can i purchase it in malaysia and what is their price range?

2. What kind aquarium setup i need to prepare for them? Any special filtration setup? What would be the rough cost to setup that system for them?

3. Any special requirement in keeping them? When handling them, can i use a thick rubber gloves to avoid their poisonous barb.

4. Any good books to read about them. So far i have found one;
