To apply for a conditional species permit you can be an individual or business with an aquaculture license.

The state will do a physical inspection of your facilities to see if it meets the standards and requirements. If it does then the state will grant you a permit. At the end of each year you have to turn in an inventory of all conditional species imported in and where each one was sold.

There is a difference between conditional and prohibited species. In Florida, prohibited species like tiger fish, piranha, snakeheads, etc can only be possessed by public aquariums, zoos or public exhibits.

So are rays and arows on the conditional list?

Yes - rays, arowanas, dorados, arapaima, etc are conditional in FL. For each state there are specific conditional and prohibited species. Apparently the further north the less species are on those lists because of decreased chance of survival if released into local waters.

So would it be possible to get a license in florida to keep stingrays in an aquarium within your home?
 
For an individual it is possible but you would have to prove to the state that the fish are for research, public exhibition, or aquaculture purposes.
 
Get a letter from some fish food company saying your setup to be a fish food tester.
