Is it possible to own a sting ray for a pet?

I was at sea world and saw the stingrays and already love sharks and they are distrantly related, only depressed (body shape.) How much would it cost to own one, and would I have to have asome special permission or something? What would I have to feed it and how would I feed it? Or should I just stick with plan A and own a shark like I planned in the first place?

dont know about the stingray but a 3 to 4 thousand gallon tank will cost you a pretty penny

You can get a Freshwater stingray..

Only if you clean the fish bowl everyday.

There are freshwater stingrays in many local aquarium shops. They don't come cheaply $75-100 and up to thousands. You'd need to have at leat a 75-100 gallon tank and lots of moula$!Cheers

I seen them for sell on ebay. they are small ones & im sure they would give you all the info about them if you contacted them. I dont remember the cost if it was buy now or auction. there was a couple people selling them.

Anything is possible. Owning one may be costly as with any exotic pet. You may also wish to look into the laws and regulations for buying and posessing one. There are some very beautiful sharks available for a decent price and you can get those at a local pet store with ease. A pet store is also a good place to research the ordinances of owning a sting ray in your state.

i dont know

laws are differnt state to state but yes you can. there are fresh and salt water rays and both canbe found for the right money

babes, if u got da money, the time and the wooden suit, Go for it !

tell me if u got a good suggestion, i would like to own one too

Don't know about a saltwater one, but probably. They do have a freshwater stingray down the road for $119. It's about 1 1/2 ft long. They are difficult to care for.

the LFS (local fish store) has had them they are kept in a 125gal tank with small sand bead (3/4") and they are fed ghost shrimp (about 10 for $3.00) now keep in mind their tank is tied into a multitank salt water system and has a professional supervising it everyday but they had lots of luck with them

I don't know, but thanks for the two pointsor not...
