like zoodiver stated, no chance for a permit, and what could happen other than your equipment and fish confiscated? fines, or even jail time.
and yes, many people like to vouch for the freshwater atlantic ray because "there's a population living in the st. john river. they never take into account that the rays can do so because the water volume is so vast in the river, that it dilutes their massively increased urea output like it's nothing.
you put that "Freshwater" ray in your tank now, and you'll have tons of problems because there just isn't the water volume to successfully dilute it. you'd be looking into a much larger system, 3000 gallons, for the same rough water to urea ratio as true freshwaters produce.
much better just going pure saltwater setup, much less of a fuss and you can do it with the size you have now.
i wouldn't bother trying to figure out a way to get them into florida, that will just end badly one way or another.
