Potamotrygon magdalenae

Known for its distinctive disc-like body and ornamental fin patterns, Potamotrygon magdalenae requires a spacious and clean aquarium environment to mirror the expansive river systems it is adapted to. They tend to be bottom dwellers and have a docile temperament similar to other stingrays, but care must be taken to provide adequate space and clean substrate to avoid possible skin abrasions. In captivity, they accept a variety of meaty diets and can develop a bond with their caretakers over time with regular interaction. Always exercise caution when maintaining any stingray species, as their tails contain venomous spines that can deliver a painful sting if mishandled.
