Welcome to fishprofiles!

A 40 gallon tank will not be big enough for a stingray. They need alot of swim room, and alot of soft sand. I wouldnt put a sting ray in anything less than a 300 gallon pond type of setup.

Hate to break it to ya, but in a 40g, you couldn't even keep the adult of any species of stingray that exists on the face of the earth. You could keep babies of some species, but an upgrade is mandatory.

Also, cartilaginous fishes are high in care level; definitely not for beginners. However, they ARE awesome.
