Red stingray Profile

The Red stingray (Hemitrygon akajei) is characterized by its reddish-brown coloration on the dorsal side and a paler underside. It originates from the western Pacific Ocean, particularly around Japan, Korea, and China. This species has a diamond-shaped disc and a slender tail, which is typical for stingrays. In terms of its presence in aquariums or the hobbyist community, the Red stingray is not commonly found or well-known, primarily due to its size, care requirements, and potentially dangerous sting.
