i recently i got my first hystrix stingray as a rescue for a friend. it still has scars but its healed nicely in the week or two ive had it. ive been thinking about breeding it for some extra pocket money but i dont know how much pups would be worth. i say about 3-4" being that i dont know how big the pups would come out im guessing about a inch at birth.
 
You will spend more in food, heating, water treatments (and water) than you will make on pups....that's without some disasters and how you market them. To properly breed you will be a facility / fish house with many grow on tanks, breeding tanks and maybe display tanks.

Enjoys the rays, we need captive breeding to help take the pressure off nature.
 
Well a hatchery would be my ultimate goal.
