First of all proceed with extreem caution when buying a teacup... They are beautiful, but they are very sensitive... I do recomend a minimum of 100 gal tank, however you can pull it of with a 75... you just may have to upsize in the future... You will want to have as much filtration as possible, because they do require very clean water... many people acheive this with frequent water changes, but most experts will recomend better filtration and less water changes, trust me I know from experience... Try looking in local personal ads... I bought my 100 gal tank, solid wood stand, two rena submersable heaters, fluval 303, gravel, test kit, etc, etc, for $200 can... If you decide to get 75 - 100 gal I would recomend a minimum of a fluval 303, along with an Aquaclear 300... this is what I have with my 100 gal and I also aded a fluval submersable filter series3... I only require a 25% water change every 10-14 days, and my water levels are always perfect... ph 7, gh 9, nh3 not registering, no2 not registring... good luck...

:I want to get into sting rays, but I have no clue what I need. I figure I need a blower, and at least 75g tank. I do have a 20g tank. Is it acceptable for a teacup to start? Or should I go and get a new tank? What kind of filtration? I currently have an Aquaclear 150. I figure I'll need bigger. How do I aquire/grow food for teacup stingrays? How much is considered a reasonable price for a teacup stringray? One of the local shops is sellin a couple 3-4inchers for 50 bux CAN.
