I would continue to do a lot more research and you could always build a pond... cheapest best way to house rays....thanks dixon, and davo i wont go out 1 day and buy a ray with no research and i havent got it set up yet but soon will. are they ok with semi aggressive cichlids like jd,gt or something more like a jag or green texas? how long does the tank be up and runnin until you can add one i have herd 6months but thats abit long imo but if thats what they need thats whats needed to be done. also i searched for MA hillingdon and nothing realy came up bar someone bought a mis-id ray. do they have a website or phone number? as iam going down to london in about 2month for someones wedding and iam stopping at wharf and if they have them ma hillingdon.
thanks dave

Potamotrygon Humerosa stay fairly small, the problem is there are a lot of different rays that fall under that name. I haven't seen a true humerosa (what I consider one anyways 'P 46') over 18", not saying they don't exist, but it would be safe to say they don't get too much bigger than that. Still I would say minimum 5' x 30" x 24" (Which I think is the smallest tank for any adult ray).
Magdelenae have a fairly small disc size, but long tails. They tend to spend a lot of time swimming in the current and I feel require a lot of swimming room.
Motoros are one of my favorite rays come in a wide range of colors and patterns. They get big though, like 24" disc, so they need at least a 3 foot wide tank.
Ocellata, well I've never seen one in person and don't know many people who have them. I've heard they only get like 10" wide, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes or have heard it from a good source, so I don't know how accurate that is.
Reticulata is just a name that used to be used for a variety of rays... usually magdelenae.
Marbled.... that could be a lot of things from motoros to motellos?
Honestly, I would spend the money on getting a proper tank and then get something like a motoro to start with. When you will be spending potentially $800 + on a scobina, this might actually be the cheaper route.
Good Luck,
