a hystrix and reticulus are very common and are the "cheeper" rays they only get about a 12"disk they often call them tea cup rays but any ray can be called tea cups that the disk is under 4 inches :headbang2
a small ray doesn't mean it's easier to take care of. infact, to my knowledge, the "teacup" rays are much are sensitive than the larger ray and more expensive rays like motoros and leopoldis.
if you're a beginner, I'd suggest that you buy the book rayman is offering.

my advice is start with motoro or if you can afford it, jump straight to pdr. pdr are the hardiest and easiest ray to keep, and very beautiful too..
teacup rays are weak and die easily, imho not even worth a 2nd thought..

id worry more about keeping a stingray alive long term . Keep it alive and healthy for a year ... then lets talk about ultimate size.

Could also try a captive bred. They seem to me to be a for sure thing.
