Potamotrygon falkneri is a captive-bred favorite among aquarium hobbyists but requires large tanks due to its adult size. They are social creatures and can coexist with other peaceful fishes. Ensure no sharp decorations are in the tank since they have delicate skin. Furthermore, maintaining water quality is paramount as they are sensitive to high nitrate levels.
