Could a teacup stingray live it's life in a 120. Dimensions will be 4'x2'x2' and can it be kept with and oscar.
 
I was under the impresion that a "teacup" stingray was only a term for juvies.Meaning there are no Teacup species.Please feel very free to correct my possible error.
 
teacup rays are usually retic babys and no you should have a larger tank....
 
I have seen some fully mature retics with a max size of 6" so you could get away with it for about 1-2 years with no problems, after that you might need to upgrade.
 
i dunno if id ever put an oscar with a ray, hes pick it to death me thinks.

I myself have a juvie retic in a 75 for the time being. He was sold as a teacup ray, i will upgrade as he grows and i feel he needs it. Ive herd of members breeding them in a 90 gal which is only a 75 taller. So for the time being and depending on your ray. your 120 ray work for a long time.
