According to Fish Channel, it is legal to own a stringray as a pet in all states except Arizona, California, Texas, Georgia, Hawaii, Nevada, Oklahoma, Utah and Mississippi.

One of the other interesting things about stingray reproduction is that they can become pregnant again almost immediately after the birth of a litter of pups. It is very common for litters of pups to be no more than 100 days apart. The gestation period takes 90+ days.

Freshwater Stingrays are a diverse group of fish that are increasingly common in today’s specialty pet stores. They are personable carnivores with an impressive appetite and many quirks that make keeping them a challenge. That’s why I’ll be breaking down the types of Freshwater Stingrays and their care needs below!

Teacup stingrays need big aquariums, no less than 125 gallons. They can reach a size of 15 inches, not including the tail. They need plenty of space to swim at the bottom of the tank.

What Is The Smallest Freshwater Stingray? The smallest freshwater Stingrays is the Potamotrygon scobina which grows to have a disk size width of 8″ up to 12″ across. They are only about half the size of the most massive Stingray.

Stingrays have also become more popular in the last two years because costs have fallen 30 to 40 per cent as fish breeders breed larger quantities. Popular breeds include the Motoro and the teacup stingray which cost $100 to $200.

Potamotrygon Jabuti (Pearl stingray) This species grows slightly smaller than the Motoro and can reach sizes of up to 30 inches in diameter.

That being said, fish such as Bettas, guppies, minnows, tetras, and goldfish are all decent options for a 1 gallon tank though it’s really a good idea to consider just getting a bigger tank even like a 5 gallon+.

They can technically live in a 1 gallon tank, and they will not grow any bigger.

Guppies are one species of fish that you can keep in a small tank. But you should note that you will not be able to house more than a pair of guppies in a 1-gallon tank. The more guppies you house in a 1-gallon tank, the more likely the tank will crash and your guppies with it.

Snails are the best creatures for beginners to be kept in a one-gallon fish tank. They are easy to take care for and they do not require strict water parameters. They grow to a maximum size of less than inch, therefore, you do not need to worry about space. Snails breed easily, so they multiply rapidly.
