Requires footprint rather than depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:1.1rem 0 .25rem;font-weight:600;font-size:1rem;line-height:1.3\"\u003eBefore you buy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease read before buying. This species has a very poor survival record in home aquaria - most specimens die within a year, commonly from starvation or injury. It also carries a venomous barb capable of a serious sting. It needs an extremely large, custom, low-rock system and an experienced keeper. Many retailers decline to stock it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Real Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57335365271927,"sku":"AG-100667","price":375.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/realaquatics.co.uk\/products\/blue-spotted-ribbontail-stingray-taeniura-lymma","provider":"Real Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
