Do a search here on 1700 gallon stingray reef.... One of the members has an eastern fiddler ray, which is supposed to be one of the better ones to keep in home (not public aquariums) tanks.

Agood book to get is Scott Michaels' Sharks and Rays...

Probably the best reference for the information your looking for.

Well what size tank/pond is it going in. Its gonna need to be rather big. I would suggest either a cortez or a yellow stingray. More the cortez than anything. They are rather small and very hardy. As for other rays, I would stay away from the blue spot ribbon tails. They have a horrible succes rate in this hobby. make sure you only use RO water. Tap water will kill them. Trust me on that one i learned from experience.

I was looking at the eastern fildder ray that maxx told me about and looked like something that I would be intrested in but i will have to look at the others too
