Banded Stingaree

[Deano1956]

My grandson (8) came home with a book today with great pics of sharks and rays and i saw this small ray in there( Banded Stingaree) and was wondering if this has been seen in the trade. Its from Austrailia and it says common so no reason it shouldnt be traded, right.

i just recieved a email from a online vendor and he said if its from Australia its going to be exspensive and I wonder if they even collect them

I just emailed a collector in Aust. to see if they get them but a LFS in Melbourne said he hasnt seen them in stores, I want some

Look into Fiddler rays if you like that pattern. Just be aware they get 5' or so.

Haha true, but sometimes ERI has them cheap. I got a pair of pups for some pocket change one time.

Think of them like the Aussie version of a skate.
