A very attractive ray to home aquarists, however it does not fair well in captivity. Aside from being very sensitive to water conditions, this ray may be reluctant to feed. They often starve to death in the aquarium as a result. |

The Bluespotted Ribbontail Ray (Taeniura lymma) is sometimes called a Bluespotted Stingray. It belongs to the family named Dasyatidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 28.0 inches in length, the Bluespotted Ribbontail Ray is semi-aggressive in nature and risky in stamina. Based on the particular specimen you acquire and its environment, the time when it is most active can fluctuate day or night, and will hang out or do best in the lower tank area. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Taeniura lymma should not be housed in a tank less than 300 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area, extra substrate area, a fine substrate, a deep substrate, and a stable cave/sheltering ledge.
