Re: Freshwater Stingrays
*Sigh* I find it somewhat tiresome how the basis' of my previous posts have been misinterpreted/misunderstood. First off, the majority of hobbyists do not have the proper confines to house a school of piranha let alone stingrays of any specie. Secondly, my statement was not in reference to a recommendation of housing piranha and stingray together, but rather that there are many species of fish that can be housed with stingrays and even though piranhas are not recommended to hobbyists, it can be done. "Can be done" is a general statement not necessarily geared towards hobbyists alone, unlike the butchering it received. You completely missed the entire point or at least chose to. You are correct that I have not mixed the two species yet as I have not had a need to; however, it has been done successfully. As for general husbandry, as I have stated, stability is more important than exact parameters and that is coming from personal experience in breeding P. leopoldi, motoro, and schroederi.
