Striped stingaree Profile

The Striped stingaree (Trygonoptera ovalis) is a species of stingray primarily known for its distinctive cream to pale brown color, accentuated by dark brown stripes running along its oval-shaped body. This fish is native to the shallow coastal waters off southern Australia. Characterized by its small size and the presence of a venomous spine on its tail, it is more of a subject of scientific interest than a common feature in the aquarium hobby. Its limited popularity in hobbyist circles is due to both its specialized habitat requirements and conservation concerns.
