Any Freshwater LFS with Large Tanks?

DIFish · Sep 18, 2023

Hey all,

Know this isn’t really the proper place but looking to see if anyone knows of freshwater shops in the area that would be interested in/ have the capacity for a large stingray? Was planning on keeping him around as last tank was taken down due to a leak but plans changed and am now needing to move this guy quickly. Any suggestions appreciated as I have been to a few of the shops in the past and none really had the space. Have tried the freshwater forums but they don’t seem to be as busy locally. Thanks!

Possibly the local aquarium at Union Station?

I recall seeing a YouTube video of a local aquarium store moving a customers 30+ lb freshwater fish into one of their store ponds, it might have been Corals And More in St. Peters. Might want to give them a call, good luck!

Union station would be funny! Will have to check out Corals and More then. Buyers backed out 2 weekends in a row and time to more him. Thanks guys!

You can try but the curator usually says no. There has been one instance of a ray like this being surrendered to the zoo and then the aquarium took it.

Yeah Zoos and similar usually have pretty strict guidelines and I am not looking to make more work for myself.

Appreciate the help all, am taking him to Corals and More tomorrow.
