i saw one of those on animal planet.. some natives were hunting and killing one because someone got killed by its stinger... that thing was freakin huge. like 3 people long it seemed like!

Well, there are plenty of smaller species of freshwater rays. They all obviously require larger tanks for the most part. The ease of keeping also changes from species to species. (whether they're available as native fish in Australia I do not know)

Potamotrygon motoro
Potamotrygon leopoldi
Potamotrygon histrix
Potamotrygon sp.
Potamotrygon menchacai
Potamotrygon brachyura
Potamotrygon henlei
Paratrygon aiereba
Potamotrygon reticulata
Potamotrygon castexi
Plesiotrygon iwamae
Dasyatis breekeri

yeah but we cant get them in Australia. The only ones ive ever seen were like $1000 each.

Wow, lol. Well if you ever planned on going on a trip to find some native freshwater stings, then I would check if you have any of those near you (Australians). Some of those grow quite big, but most don't get any bigger than a meter.

our wild ones dude not the ones from over seas, but they get to big

Yeah I know. I was referring to the list of rays he listed...
