What's the smallest FW ray, and what's the minimum size tank? Also, any special requirements besides sandy substrate?

There are a couple of different ray species sold under the moniker 'teacup'. The P. reticulatus is the smallest, and can reach up to 12" in disc diameter, but usually an inch or two less.

Tank size should be wide enough so the ray and it's tail will not touch each side of the tank at the same time they need very clean water and nothing in their tank with sharp edges and a heater cover
