Yes the only rays that are not california legal are
Potamotrygon
The atlantic ray is
Dasyatis sabina
These rays are mainly saltwater and can only live in freshwater by releasing a huge amount of urea making the bio-load very large
People have had mixed results keeping them in freshwater

thanks im hopeing beng in a brackish envirement will be better on the ray than in fresh
yes i used to have one of the dasyatis sabina/ florida ray when i lived in texas and i kept it in brackish water actually and it seemed to put less stress on the ray by not soaking in so much pure freshwater and having to pee it out every ten minutes. the ray made it a long while till i threw a big pleco in foolishly and it sucked all the skin off her back so dont mix placo's with stingrays lol but ya it was pretty easy to care for, kept it at 1.015 which was about a quarter cup of marine salt per gallon. just be sure to account for its long tail and good luck if u do decide to get it
