What is a stingray enemy?
The biggest threats to the Stingray are sea lions, seals, sharks, and other large fish.
What fish can I keep with freshwater stingrays?
Medium to large barbs, rainbowfish, minnows and tetras have been kept with stingrays, but there are no guarantees that these won’t end up inside the belly of the stingray sooner or later. The best companions are large but docile midwater fish. Oscars (Astronotus ocellatus) are particular favourites in this regard.
Why is the freshwater stingray endangered?
The giant freshwater stingray is classified as endangered, and there are indications that stingray numbers have dropped dramatically in recent years as the fish’s river habitats have degraded. The rays have also been targeted for the burgeoning aquarium trade, though it is now illegal to fish for stingrays in Thailand.
What can live with freshwater stingray?

Can Bichir live with Stingray?
Just be certain that the cichlids are large enough not to be considered food by your rays, and they aren’t stealing your ray’s food! The bichir/ray combination is successful if the fishes involved are of similar size. Despite the fact that both types of fish are bottom dwellers, they make fantastic tankmates.
