Yellow Stingray Urobatis Jaimaicensis The Yellow Stingray (Urobatis jamaicensis) is a species of stingray found in the tropical western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to Trinidad. It has a round pectoral fin disc and a short tail with a well-developed caudal fin. The stingray's distinctive dorsal color pattern consists of light-on-dark or dark-on-light reticulations forming spots and blotches, which it can rapidly change to improve its camouflage. The Yellow Stingray typically reaches a maximum size of around 14 inches across. It inhabits sandy, muddy, or seagrass bottoms in shallow inshore waters, commonly near coral reefs. Its diet consists of small bony fishes and benthic invertebrates. This stingray is generally considered non-migratory and somewhat skittish, but can sometimes tolerate careful approaches by divers and snorkelers. It is an aplacental viviparous species, giving birth to 2 litters of 2-5 pups yearly. The Yellow Stingray requires a well-established saltwater aquarium with a sandy substrate, live rock, and hiding places. It is generally peaceful towards other bottom-dwelling tankmates of a similar size. However, caution is advised as it can inflict a painful sting if threatened. This stingray is recommended for experienced marine aquarists who can provide the proper water parameters, including a pH of 8.1-8.4, temperature of 72-82°F, and specific gravity of 1.020-1.025Above images for illustration purposes only. Exact colours, patterns, and size may vary between individuals.
