I recently moved to Indiana. I had to sell my stingray because of the move. I would like to get another stingray, and I am wondering if anyone knows where I can get one for a reasonable price. I am looking for a smaller freshwater stingray and maybe even 2 depending on the price. If anyone has one for sale or knows where I can get one please let me know. Thanks.
Freshwater Stingray?

"Teacups" are baby rays. The smallest FW stingray will grow to 12", so a 70 gallon tank might not be enough. Also, rays pollute the water pretty quickly so a 90 gl. tank would be good to house a baby ray for, tops, 6 months.
There some other asian varieties that stay smaller but are very difficult to obtain in the market. I've heard they are more colorful and don't posses venoumous spines.
Maybe you could consider getting another set up for your tank. If you are planning for something ouit of the ordinaire, maybe bichirs are a good option.

I understand rays grow very large. Like I said, I have had one before. Over the time I had him, he grew very little. I will worry about getting a bigger tank when he/she outgrows my 75 gallon. When I had mine I did a water change every weekend. I never missed a time, which is the key to keeping rays in my opinion. I had my 75 gallon plumbed to a 70 gallon water tank in the room behind the tank where I kept the water at the right ph and also heated. It worked wonders. I checked with a pet store here in Indianapolis and they said they could get me a freshwater dwarf in, but they wanted 3 arms and 4 legs. I could get 3 stingrays from where I moved from for that price. I am looking for a cheaper place to buy this time...
Yes, teacups are any small stingray about the size of your hand. It is just a fancy name for a small unknown named stingray usually.

I just called a fish store in Indianapolis I never have been to and they said they have a 6 inch stingray in for $60 bucks. You think that sounds reasonable?

Absolutlely. I got mine at 4" for around 50 bucks. Not bad. I assume you are getting a reticulata which is one of the less expensive specimenes.
