Description

Simply put, when it comes to the proper sized aquarium for freshwater stingrays, the bigger the better. Height is not critical, but a length of at least 72″ to 84″ and depth (width) of 24″ to 36″ should be considered the minimum for long term housing. A 75 or 90 gallon aquarium can be used for juvenile stingrays, but nothing smaller than a 180 gallon aquarium should be considered for keeping adults long term. The substrate should be fine sand and decorations, if used, should be smooth and free of sharp edges. Leave as much of the bottom as possible open for the rays to swim and bury in the sand. Heaters should have a guard around them or be in-line or located in a sump to prevent your stingrays from burning themselves on them. Lighting should be subdued with a 12-hour day/night cycle.

简而言之，当谈到适合淡水黄貂鱼的水族箱大小时，越大越好。高度并不重要，但至少 72 英寸至 84 英寸的长度和 24 英寸至 36 英寸的深度（宽度）应被视为长期住房的最小值。 75 或 90 加仑的水族箱可用于饲养幼年黄貂鱼，但如果要长期饲养成年黄貂鱼，则不应考虑使用小于 180 加仑的水族箱。基材应为细砂，装饰物（如果使用）应光滑且无锋利边缘。尽可能多地打开底部，以便鳐鱼游泳并埋在沙子里。加热器周围应该有防护装置，或者位于管道内或位于污水坑中，以防止黄貂鱼在加热器上燃烧自己。照明应以 12 小时昼/夜为一个周期进行调节。
