Hystrix Stingray!

[Fish Eat Fish]

An LFS around me said they can get me a hystrix stingray for about $160.

Im an expirienced fish keeper but new to rays. Are these rays hard to keep compared to motos or similar?

Also how much should one pay for one? I was thinking that they would cost much more but maybe I was thinking of some other variant. Sorry I have no more information about the actual stingray as the LFS owner I know said all the information they gave was "Histrix Stingray"

yea u bet, i can upload a pic of my true hystrix too
The reason why people give them faulse names and the prices are so high is because the only place to get these guys is from brazil and they have an exportation ban on all of thier rays so they prices skyrocket, and now exporters and lfs think they are smart to get you to pay more for the cheaper rays they call them hystrixs if they look similar, but they grow much larger then the real hystrix
