Reddit reviews Aquarium Sharks & Rays: An Essential Guide to Their Selection, Keeping, and Natural History

I know there's a lot of expertise to build first, and a lot of investment of time, money, and room to make, but hot damn, those are some cool fish ya got there. Life goals right here.

I've always loved sharks and rays, and I volunteered for a while helping to take care of them at the local aquarium, and it just cemented it. I did saltwater, so I hung out with some really cool animals that would never fly in a home aquarium (leopard whipray, zebra shark, cownose ray). We have this book on the community bookshelf at the aquarium and I read it all the time and dream about the day I have everything I need to keep them.

I never dealt with the freshwater rays though, or even thought about keeping them. I remember admiring them as a little girl at the Audobon Aquarium of the Americas, standing in a treehouse and looking down at the river in their Amazon biome exhibit. Potamotrygonidae is such a beautiful family.
