seems these are going to be very hard to find and from what some one else told me today they seem to be way beyond what I was exspecting to pay for one.
It seems most of the South American collectors are focusing towards Suriname area. Marinae and boesmani stingrays are found in those regions and are available wild caught currently in the US market.
There are a few European breeders working on scobina projects. But I'm not sure if they are producing yet.
Is that the only species of Ray that you have interest in? I will recommend captive bred rays. Wild caught can be a great challenge

I am interested in many rays but I am looking for one of the species that stays smaller. and scobina was the most appealing to me, visualy, and size wise. rectics do not interest me in any way. True hystix may be the only option if they are at all available these are the only 3 that stay in this size range to my knowledge. I am not looking for one right this second just planning on were to get if even possible I know all of these are hard to come by. I will be actualy looking to pick up in a few months from now. trying to get all the planning done now and figuring it all out thanks.

There is also a little misconception with Hystrix and Scobina both. Females can still get fairly large. New research has shown wild caught Scobina females can attain 16" or better. I've personally seen hystrix females in the 15-16" range many years ago. 15-16" is by no means a small fish lol. With tail that's still a 24"+ fish easily.
Thank you. I only mean small as in one of the smaller rays, not small fish. Thanks for the info private messaging
