Which Species of Stingray?

[Escaping]

Which species of freshwater stingray would be best for a 75gal tank? There is nothing else left in the tank so I can start from scratch but don't want to have to upgrade to a bigger tank when it grows up. I thought about a motoro stingray but it seems I don't have enough space for an adult.
The dimensions are 48x18x21.
I'm open to something other than a stingray for this tank but I've become quite bored of "fish shaped" fish and would like something a little more unique.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

No stingray would be suitable for a 75 gallon tank. Sorry but thats just the truth. There's a lfs around the corner from me that has fresh water flounder. Kinda cool even though they are kind of rare...

I agree, no stingray can live in a 75 gallon tank.

Thanks for the input! The flounder is a really good suggestion. Any particular species I should look into?

I have no idea what exact species the lil guys at the lfs by me has but Li has some and the pix can be found at http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=176154&highlight=pancakes
This was the first time I've ever seen them in any store so you may have to get lucky to locate any.

You can keep any kind of ray you want as long as you keep up with water changes. Once they get over 10 inches (about 1 1/2 to 2 years) you will have to upgrade. Don't buy one unless upgrading is an option because large rays are hard to ship and you will be stuck with a hard decision to make.
