I know freshwater Whiptail Stingrays are legal in California, but can't find them anywhere. Does anyone know of a local fish store that sells them near 92647/Huntington Beach, CA? Open to Hystrix as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
All "FW" rays are illegal but "SW" rays are not. The whiptail that the OP is looking for is legal here since it is technically a "SW" ray but finding 1 is gonna be difficult.Yes, all rays are illegal to own, and sell in California.

Thanks for the help! I live down the street from Tong's. They have a vendor for whiptails but they're increasingly pricey. Just want to see if there is anyone else around.All "FW" rays are illegal but "SW" rays are not. The whiptail that the OP is looking for is legal here since it is technically a "SW" ray but finding 1 is gonna be difficult.
To the op, your best bet is to look online. I live 20 min south of you and Tongs would be your best bet to get 1 but I highly doubt they will.

they could acclimate, but almost always fatal. prepare to do a lot of water changesI see that some are saying Whiptails are brackish - if they're bred and kept in freshwater, would they acclimate over time? Aka are there Whiptails that have been bred and maintained in freshwater for generations?
Ok, appreciate the info.they could acclimate, but almost always fatal. prepare to do a lot of water changes
