FW Teacup stingray need salt?

[aquariumdude]

Do reticulated rays need salt? I know they are from the amazon basin I believe and I was told they go into salt for food but go back to freshwater. Anyone know where I could find more information on this?

Thanks for helping!

Definitely not. They're totally FW. And your "Teacup" will be a serving platter in short order.

freshwater only, only, no salt' all you have to do is google teacup stingrays. all the info you need.

how'd your eel turn out?

I wouldnt recommend googling teacup ray, so many pet stores go by this common name that all the info is gonna be muddled and confusing. Monster Fish Keepers has a whole section just for rays. Try that out. There are a bunch of people on there who know a ton about them.

The moray eel unfortunatly didn't make it. It was the first thing I lost besides feeder fish...I agreed to never get a snowflake eel again from a pet store b/c they never use any salt and typically they never eat while there. Thanks for everyone's help

no salt..will actually be bad for them since they are from a habitat with such soft water.
