An extremely popular and common ray in the aquarium trade do to its hardiness and easy acclimation to captive living. Use only a fine substrate when housing any rays, because their abdomens can be easily scratched leading to infection. The Yellow Spotted Stingray is a predator, but can be successfully housed with larger and faster non-bottom dwelling tankmates. |

The Yellow Spotted Stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis) is sometimes called a Yellow Stingray, a Round Stingray, or a Maid Stingray. It belongs to the family named Urolophidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 26.5 inches in length, the Yellow Spotted Stingray is semi-aggressive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the substrate. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Urobatis jamaicensis should not be housed in a tank less than 180 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.4, temperature between 72 - 82 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 a deep substrate, a fine substrate, and extra substrate area.
