Saw these 2 rays at a LFS.
They were $500 each and was in a freshwater tank.

Could anybody identify them for me?

I’d guess....Atlantic stingray, Hypanus sabina.

It will not last long in FW
 
Not restricted in California to buy/sell keep them as pets?
Can’t speak on Cali banned rays.
Swimming with freshwaterfish as Hydrolycus Armatus?
They are sold here where I live in fl. They wander into freshwater when young but eventually leave to the salt side when it’s an adult. Doesn’t live it’s entire life out in freshwater.
