I had a request to put up some information on leopoldi stingrays. Leopoldi stingrays are not recommended for beginner stingray keepers mainly because of their price. Due to the ban on export of stingrays from Brazil the price of leopoldi stingrays and other black stingrays has sky rocketed within the past few years. However black stingrays are in my opinion and many others the nicest of all stingrays, they are near impossible to aquire. They reach an adult size of 30" and a tank of at least 8'x4' is required to house full grown stingrays. A 6'x2' tank would make a good temporary grow out tank for these stingrays. A leopoldi's color and pattern intensifes as it gets older.
