P. Müller & Henle, 1841 }}Potamotrygon is a genus of freshwater stingrays in the family Potamotrygonidae native to the rivers of South America,[1] and sometimes seen in the aquarium trade.[2] Like other stingrays, the fishes of this genus have venomous barbs at the base of their tails, and their stings are dangerous to humans.[2] It is said that the natives of South America fear the stingray more than they do the piranha.[2] Potamotrygon vary considerably in color, pattern and size, with the maximum disc width ranging from {{convert|31|cm|ft|abbr=on|0}} in P. wallacei to {{convert|1.5|m|ft|abbr=on|0}} in P. brachyura.[5][3]In the aquariumThough freshwater stingray of other genera do appear in the trade, most are from Potamotrygon. They are best kept with a deep, sandy substrate, in which they bury themselves, often with only the eyes visible. They are not territorial with other animals and can be kept in groups, provided a large enough aquarium is provided. They are carnivorous bottom feeders and require strong filtration as they are rather sensitive to water conditions.[4] Many species of stingray have been bred in captivity and males can be determined by the presence of claspers as in other Chondrichthyans. SpeciesThere are currently 30 recognized extant (living) species in this genus:
Extinct (fossil) speciesThree species are extinct and only known from Tertiary fossil remains:[13]
