Well, are there? I don't really think so, since the 55 isn't very wide, but maybe I'm wrong? I know teacups are really just babies. I really like how they look, and the way they swim is so peaceful.
Are there any FW stingrays that can fit in a 55?

No way. When I bought my first 4" wide one I housed it into a 20 gallons. Kept it there for only 15 days. I changed him to a 70 gallon. Kept him there for 4 months. Now he is in a 230 gallon tank.

Freddy....my fish guru says to tell you that there is in fact a true species with the name of Teacup Stingray.....or Potamotrygon reticulata.

I don't know about that. Its generally known that teacup rays are called teacups because they are small. And at such a small size they can't properly be identified. Most likely a teacup labelled at the LFS could be a couple speciesDebra Mark said:Freddy....my fish guru says to tell you that there is in fact a true species with the name of Teacup Stingray.....or Potamotrygon reticulata.

Wait...so I could keep a reticulata stingray in a 55?...I thought they got too big. :huh:
Debra- thanks for the links.

Absolutely no species of rays can fit in a 55g unless its used for a juvenile for a growout.
The smallest species of rays require a 30" wide tank to live remotely comfortable.
