Ok, my boy loves stingrays, but the largest tank I have room for right now is a 150. I know I can't keep any of the regular, larger ray species in it, but are there any smaller, less popular species that could be considered? I realize that this is probably totally unable to happen, but I figured I'd ask the people who know. Thanks guys!
Complete n00b to rays... a quick question for the experts

150 as a pet... get a male Hystrix... fine for life... if you want a pair you will have to find red retics which are not easy to find and very difficult to keep. Hit me up if you need more info
Hell yeah Jay! I really didn't think that there'd be a ray that could work in a 150. I'll probably go with the hysterix if they're not too hard. How difficult is their care? I don't shy away from a challenge, but I want this new setup to be kinda plug and play.
If I was doing a 150 I would be on the hunt for Red Retics like Jay suggested. Seen them giving birth at 6" or so.
Never kept hystrix but i have heard they have great personalities. I may get flamed for this but don't be scared of retics, they really aren't that hard to keep, i knew 1/10th what I do now and I kept 2 alive no problem. From your posts I can guarantee you that you are knowledgeable enough to keep one alive no problem. I miss my 2.
