This allows them to sense buried prey and hunt in total darkness. Freshwater Stingray are found in tropical regions around the world and come in a variety of sizes and patterns. No Freshwater Stingray species is truly small; even the Atlantic Stingray reaches a respectable foot in diameter. All require large aquariums with ample filtration, prefer fine sand substrates, and heavy feedings of protein rich food. They are also personable fish that respond to hand feeding and even enjoy being touched.
