Minimum foot print should be 6x2x2. Wider is better of course. Water should be kept in prestine condition with filtration system having a large turn over rate. Sand bottom is greatly recommended as they like to hide. Decor should be keep to a minimum but if used, don't have anything with rough or sharp edges.

They are night time predators so use caution with tank mates.

The big challenge for stingrays is getting a tank wide enough. 2 ft would be the bare minimum. 3ft would be great if possible. The "teacup" stingrays are just babies of stingrays that will grow much bigger.
