Some told me last week about a guy in Davie, Fl (?)
who has created a fresh water sting ray. He says they
get about 14" long.
Has anyone seen or know anything about this?

Fresh water sting rays have existed in the trade for a long long time....

Potamotrygon motoro

They have been alive and well for centuries in South America. I think
there is another species in Thailand also.

He is probably talking about the species of sting ray that inhabits the east
coast of the US. It will live in warm freshwater or salt and can be slowly
acclumated to pure freshwater. there is even a large spring in florida where
they live and breed in fresh water without ever leaving freshwater. He didn't
create a freshwater sting ray he just found one that could live in either.
remove nospam from e-mail to send to me, I grow trees in aquariums like bonsai.
I breed dwarf crayfish, great for planted community tanks. If you can get me a
shovelnose sturgeon fingerling (Scaphirhynchus platorynchus) no wild caught
please, contact me

1000's of yrs.

actually, there basicly all over the world
Aust./Asia/SA are primary exporters of FW rays.

problem is sizes, 20-24" is smallest adult, theres
no 14" adult.
