finally ordered my new tank today, for delivery next week. jewel rio 300 4ft long 2ft high 20' width (350litres). ive gone for a high quality internal filter, I may even have 2 internal filters for heavy filtration of the tank. hope to make this should be the perfect home for my discus. going for a lightly sanded bottom with driftwood, rocks and a small selection of plants. one thing I would really love to add to my tank is a teacup stingray. ive seen many videos with them in discus tanks, whats your guys opinions? also, could someone tell me what 350l equals to in gallons?

I know most sting rays need large tanks. 230 gallon being the smallest for 1 ray is what I've read and if the discus are adults they should be ok but it's taking a risk like with any other fish

I personally wouldn't keep a ray in anything less than 200 unless it was for quarantine before going in bigger tank
