Bullseye electric ray Profile

The Bullseye electric ray, *Diplobatis ommata,* is a small, disc-shaped electric ray characterized by its distinctive black or dark brown color, often with a conspicuous eye-like spot or ocellus on the top side, which is where it gets its name. It is native to the shallow sandy and muddy bottoms of the tropical western Atlantic Ocean, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. This electric ray's body is relatively smooth, with a nearly circular disc and a short, thick tail. *Diplobatis ommata* is not well known in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its specialized care requirements and its ability to generate electric shocks for defense and prey immobilization, making it a less common choice for aquarium enthusiasts.
