    I dont see why not, depending on size of them. Keep in mind freshwater rays need a tank thats atleast 24" wide if not 36"

    im not going to get the stingray it was just an idea floating in the back of my head. i think i am going to find another terror to put in my tank. where is a good place to find 4-5" fish in va? i dont want to put one in the tank that is too small compared to my other terror.

    Terrors are pretty aggressive as adults and if they didn't grow up together just adding another adult terror will probably create problems and injuries. Don't know any LFSs in VA but you could always try aquabid.com

    Nelson - Stingray
    I remember a while ago I mentioned Pet Forum was getting in freshwater stingrays. Well, when I was in there yesterday they had one. I forget the name of it but it was a Dwarf or something similar to that. It was $49.99ish.
