They are also under significant pressure from ornamental fisheries. Injury may occur without envenomation because many stingrays lose or tear the sheath covering the venom glands.The wound may bleed freely and the patient fall unconscious, experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, excessive sweating, muscle cramps and spasms, abdominal pain, seizures or low blood pressure.

Potamotrygon cf.
Confusion often surrounds species names and identification — particularly when the subjects are South American, African, Asian and Australian stingrays.
Middle and lower Amazon River, lower Tocantins River, Pará River, Trombetas River. Possibly the one from Venezuela should be the type.Plesiotrygon iwamae, Rosa, Castello and Thorson, 1987 (pictured above): This, the Long-tailed river stingray, is only known from the Rio Solimões, above Tefé, in the Amazonas region of Brazil, up to the upper Amazon in Ecuador (Napo).Potamotrygon boesemani, Rosa, de Carvalho and de Almeida Wanderley, 2008: Boeseman’s stingray is a recently described species and is only known from the Corantijn river drainage in Surinam.Potamotrygon brachyura (Günther, 1880): The Short-tailed river stingray is only found in the Paraná-Paraguay and Uruguay river basins in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay.Potamotrygon castexi, * Castello and Yagolkowski, 1969: The Vermiculate river stingray type is from the Río Paraná, at Rosario, Argentina, but some say it’s also found in the Upper Amazon river basin, which I doubt. River stingrays dwell in a diverse range of freshwater environments, such as sandy lake beaches, flooded forests, and small, muddy creeks. Males have modified pelvics, normally two claspers for genetic intromission and females have rounded pelvic fins.Captive reproduction of river stingrays only started seriously in the late 1990s and worldwide only during the last ten years or so, as for some years Brazil prohibited their capture and trade. I have seen a single male in a tank so active that he took every single female he came across and fertilised it — as well as females from other species.
Rays account for about half of all elasmobranch species. However, they are not dangerous unless stepped on or threatened.River stingrays are usually docile and curious and I have had several species as pets. They feast mainly on shrimps, fish, crabs and molluscs, but instead of ripping and tearing they suck the prey in and crush it against their hard toothplates, as they have no real teeth. I had taken aquatic stores for granted. I have found quite different colour patterns and shapes and possibly there’s more than one species in the genus. Now it’s a case of queueing for my place on the conveyor before I’m carted unidirectionally around the fish house, prompted to move along by the audible throat clearing and shuffling behind me.
At the end of the tail are one or more barbed spines covered by a sheath. If so, your rays will be easy to keep and much more interesting and educational than most TV shows! Do not got for mutant rays, such as the so-called Butterfly or Batman varieties. However this is not a feeding relationship I’d suggest a novice fishkeeper to try to foster.Reproduction is known as matrotrophic viviparity. Up to three smaller litters can be produced during one year and there could be a break of one or more years before the next. Now the rays are ‘protected’ the locals see no reason to catch and sell them any more. Fish experts believe the giant stingray, such as this one in Cambodia's Mekong River, is the largest freshwater species on Earth. Freshwater stingrays live in all those continents and they belong to two families: Potamotrygonidae and Dasyatidae. Of the 500 or more described ray species, there are over 150 stingray species that are assigned to approximately 20 genera.

Litter size and reproductive periods may differ between species in captivity and wild ones and can depend on size and age of the female.
What a different environment it is out there now. Remember too that the more space you give them the more you will enjoy them. The real danger is increasing deforestation and destruction of natural habitats.
