Does anyone know of a South American fresh water stingray species that can stay in a 55 gallon fish tank for a few years before I would need a bigger tank. I love the freshwater rays, I've had some experience since I work at a small business aquarium store. And I attempted a Motoro stingray, but found out they get too big, and their growth is quicker than I thought so I returned him back. And I know the males stay smaller than the females. So I'll obviously be getting a male Ray because of size. I basically know all the care requirements just looking for the smallest species out there. I'll be getting a 200 gallon in about two years once I graduate high school this year and I get into college.
 
None will go in a 55 gallon.

I am starting to think you are actually "CaptainS" as he made threads just like you. Either that or you were cut from the same tree!

Yah, I'll wait till I get the 200 gallon... Love the freshwater rays though, I don't want to cramp them in a small aquarium. I heard of the red blotched River Ray but I heard those are way too expensive for me and they're hard to obtain.

I agree made-up rays are really hard to get due to lack of supply for some odd reason.

Most likely referring to hystrix because they stay much smaller

I would bet it's a regional variation of a motoro. Just like AAA+ Mini marble motoro vs marble motoro.
