Marbled electric ray Profile

The Marbled electric ray, Torpedo sinuspersici, is characterized by a distinctive, marbled color pattern, blending tones of brown, gray, and white, that camouflages them against the seafloor. Native to the northwest Indian Ocean, specifically around the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, its flat, rounded body is typical of electric rays, equipped with two kidney-shaped electric organs that it uses for defense and to stun prey. Despite its fascinating abilities, it is not commonly known in the aquarium hobby, likely due to its specialized care requirements and the potential risk posed by its electric shock.
