I live in New York, usa. I heard, don't know the 100percent truth, that the teacup stingrays are banned from being caught and are not being shipped, as already stated.
Most pet stores that I have come across had no idea that the term, teacup stingray, just means a small stingray.
Anyone know of an smaller specie of stingray that are great to keep and won't break the bank? Over here it's difficult to even find a saltwater stingray for sale.
