Atlantic Stingray Size

[catfishlover106]

So what is the true size on these rays? Some sites say 12" for male and 14" for female but im unsure if its true. So im going to you guys personally to figure out the finalizing size. Thanks

Actually the Atlantic Stingray(Dasyatis sabina) can reach up to 19 inches (disc width) for adult females, with a total length of about 30-35 inches. Adult males tend to be smaller - reaching up to 13 inches in disc width, and about 20-22 inches in total length.

Not too likely. The only ones that survive long are the ones kept in saltwater. I know alot of people try to convert them to fresh, or talk about the ones collected in fresh, but I have yet to see one kept long term that way. Lower sality is fine for awhile, but even then after a few years, it takes it's toll on the body.
