Whip tail ray

[pacu22]

Today at my LFS I saw a whip tail stingray for sale. I was wondering if these types of stingrays are all freshwater or eventually marine?
PS: this is the only ray I can find in CA

It is definitely a saltwater ray, if it is sold by a reputable fish store in Cali.

It was in an all fw tank?

LFS do alot of things they shouldn't...

i would asume these guys produce a shiet load amount of waste..
as a converted atlantic ray would....

 

[dragonfish18]

your answer would be the water you found it in

where is LFS, and if you are looking for a sting ray in california, i recomend Kind Aquarium in San Jose ,off Story Road. ask the manager and tell him who much are you willing to spend

So, I guess that's a no go.
