Captive care
Rarely does well in captivity, may not feed, all can be ok and then for no reason it will stop feeding or suddenly die, water quality must be extremely good, even small amounts (traces) of copper can affect the rays health. Provide large swimming room, large open sand bottom, use only r/o water or deionized water, little or not decorations, and at least one large secure ledge for the ray to hide under.
