what size tank is it in?  Is a 55g to small for a freshwater stingray?  And how much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

thanks

You will have to buy a bigger tank I think, They get the size of a dinner plate, but I'm not sure if a 55 Gallon would be enough to house it? may be some one will reply to this and give you a heads up...

I have never had a stingray but imagine that they would need a fair sized tank with a decent length to swim in. I did a quick read on one post and found a ray that reaches 18 inches long but there are many different types and as we know info on posts is not always 100%. I have seen ID sharks kept in a 55 gallon for many years that were 10-12 inches long but they were also deformed as they had no room to grow out properly ie: heads out of proportion to there body size
Your ray may not be eating because it is possibly used to live foods and it may take some time for it to eat frozen.

The small teacup ones remain around 30-35cm and they will still need a long tank and another important thing is a sand substrate as they love to hide under it.  The larger species of freshwater rays can reach 60cm+ some close to a meter.  So in other words a 55g would hold a teacup for a short while but in the end a 100+g will be needed.

Yeah I know its addictive, 1 tank is not enough then you buy another and another and then your house is a lake
