The Haller’s Stingray is a remarkable aquarium specimen, but it is critical that it is kept by an experienced hobbyist. It requires a 180-gallon aquarium with water temperatures between 68 and 75 degrees, and should have at least a two foot width from front to back for an adult. Additionally, the substrate should be soft in order to avoid scratching its abdomen, as this could cause an infection. Copper-based medications should also be avoided, as they can be dangerous to the Stingray. Moreover, the Stingray will feed on any crustacean or mollusk in the aquarium, making it an excellent predator.

Feeding the royal gramma can be a simple task once it has become accustomed to its environment. With the right diet, this fish will quickly become a beautiful addition to your tank. To ensure its health, a variety of fresh seafood and live feeder shrimp should be offered every few days. Additionally, you can also provide high-quality, frozen foods such as mysis shrimp and brine shrimp. With the right food, the royal gramma will grow to its full size and coloration in no time.

If you’re looking to purchase a Stingray, it is important to know the approximate size of the fish it will be used for.
