Just cuase they can get that big doesn't mean most will. I mean when was the last time you saw a Cichla temensis that weighed 27 lbs (record) , probally havent, but they can get that big. The biggest one someone has seen is rarly usual.
why do you choose ponds over tanks?

I cant believe you have never heard of teacups??? They look almost identical to retics but stay smaller... like a dwarf ray... Believe what you want man, I know the truth... Seriously go call up Oliver Lucannis the f'in Amazon Expert, and he will set you straight!
I dont think its that suprising because many credable resources say that "Tea Cup ray" is a generic name for the size of certain rays.I hadnt heard about it until you said it.

Never heard of that before
All taxonomic references regarding rays never mention a P. Teacup
This is all sounding very fishy to me
sorry couldn't resist. But I have not read anything that corroberates what this guy is saying.....I know I am new but I have done some homework. I would ask for the scientific name of the "true teacup" and without pictures I am going to assume that some of this info could be off

Ok, I'm new too but I'm with Zev.
"Teacup"? Sorry, but if you've done any research at all, you will know there is no such animal. Teacup seems to be a phrase coined by Fish Stores and Wholesalers who may be unable to correctly classify the ray in its infancy.
Teacup merely means baby, and like many have said here already, usually the ray ends up being a Retic or Histrix.
I'm no expert, but this is what I've learned.
