- 1). Research freshwater stingray species. Use the many print and online resources to learn about these fish. Aquarium hobby books and magazines provide some of the most valuable information because they have seasoned hobby experts on their editorial boards. You can also visit websites like Wet Web Media and forums sites like Aquatic Predators and Monster Fish Keepers to interact with hobbyists who keep freshwater stingrays.
- 2). Visit local fish stores or online aquatic auction stores. While fish stores will always stock the staple species like tetras, livebearers, cichlids and goldfish, some may carry oddball species like freshwater stingrays. If you find such a store, you can ask the staff about how the fish are fed and other care requirements. Online auction sites like Aqua Bid also sell these fish.
- 3). Book a fishing tour. Extreme anglers can be taken to the fresh waters that several species call home, including the stunning giant freshwater stingray, which can surpass 16 feet long and 1,300 pounds. This step involves international travel, so be sure to follow all prerequisites given to you by the touring company.
