Any Black tea cups out there?...

[benray4fun]

I was going to go with a leo because of it's beautiful colors until I found out i needed a massive tank. Now that I've moved on to more realistic rays (tea cups) I'd like to know if any tea cups look like the leo's or at least black in color..."thanks for any info."

No, there are no black tea cups. Tea cups rays is a name that stores give rays that have no clue how to identify rays. Most are potamotrygon orbigyni, humersa or reticulata and those rays can get as big as 24". It will take a few years, but you can start out with a small ray and either sell it when it gets bigger, or upgrade your tank. Your best bet is to start with a motoro, they are more hardy rays to start with and not too rediculously priced.

The least expensive "Black" ray you might find will be a Galaxia Otorongo"..$400,+/-

Pick up a book called Freshwater stingrays authored by Richard Ross. Do some research and search the stingray forums for good info.
