this will be of interest to those wishing to keep a freshwater ray, here is a list of states it is illegal to sell or own one in and california is on the list of states they are illegal in.

In many areas of the country, keeping or selling freshwater stingrays is prohibited by state law. Below is a state-by-state list detailing where they are legal and where they are not. If you are interested in purchasing a freshwater stingray, please take the time to verify that they are actually legal in your area. This list will continuously be updated as new information on local statutes is obtained. As always, AP urges full compliance with state and local laws and encourages responsible fishkeeping.

Members of the family Potamotrygonidae are illegal in the following states:

Arizona
California
Florida
Georgia
Hawaii (Potamotrygonidae and Dasyatidae)
Mississippi
Nevada
Oklahoma
Texas
Utah (Dasyatidae only)

this was copy and pasted froma forum that came up during an internet search. if you want a ray go saltwater lol!

I they were like $150, but they were 12" long.

Just to let everyone know. There is a guy in Boutte, Louisiana that carries fresh water stingrays. I know a guy who recently set 100 gallon shallow cube tank for a group of stingray... Not sure what he is doing now, but he definitely carries them.
