how much should i expect to be paying for a cheap, beginner's stingray?
i have kept fish a long time, so i know what i am doing. just never kept rays before and am curious.

what species and especially something affordable i.e. if possible $200 or less.
 
get a motoro.. you can pick them up anywhere from 50-150bucks.. Could get a retic.. but they can die pretty easy. Motoros are are great ray for a starter. Just make sure you have the space and time for one. and you will love em!
 
DONT BUY A RAY UNTIL IT EATS IN FRONT OF YOU. If you order online, make sure u get the same food to feed the ray, that the seller used.

NEED ALOT OF ROOM.
 
get a motoro....very hard ray... minimum grow out tank 180 6x2x2 with larger needed... temp @86 and keep the water pristine and you will have a beautifull active ray
 
I would start by moving states..

purchase the biggest tank you can afford, and a book on stingrays..

and then get a Motoro.. :)
 
always a motoro to start ;)
