they look like sharpnose . Makes since they are not cali rays since he collects his fish from Georgia - Carolina coast i believe he said.
Nope - It's not a Sharpie. - Sharpies can't rest on the bottom(see top photo). Also Sharpies have a classic requiem shark, this shark doesn't look like a sharpie.
It's possible that instead of Cali rays - those are atlantic or southern rays.
Also if the smoothhound is collected from the Atlantic - then it's an Atlantic Smoothhound - they resemble Grays in basic looks.

Good try to cover - blizz.
But there is no such a ray called a sharpnose ray available on either coast - or even in the U.S.
The only sharpnose elasmobranch available - is the Sharpnose shark - and there's actually 7 different species. But only the Atlantic Sharpnose is available.
And after a better look the stingrays look like the Atlantic .

Good choices.
It is a gray smooth hound and a pair of atlantic rays. We had the shark shipped in last week. I caught the rays a about 5 weeks about off the coast of N.C.. The rays are doing great. I shark has not eaten yet but I am sure he will. For the next 2 weeks they are going to stay at my 300 gallon pond in my basement then I am moving them to a store I work at part time where I have a 800 gallon pond.

I did some work on a few cars and traded out the work for parts to the pond. I would say I have about $250 in the whole thing of actual money out of my pocket.

That smooth hound shark came in bigger than we thought. He is around 28 inches long.

There is a ray called a sharpsnout - that's in the same genus as the Atlantic stingray. But no sharpnose ray.
And by the way blizz - you don't need to be a biologist - just use Wikipedia.org.

Truth is very few sources are 100% right. Especially encyclipedias. which may be outdated at the time of print.
Why because our knowledge of the world around us is constantly changing.
Still - I suggested Wikipedia, as a starting point.
Personally I always use many different sources - when researching info. Then either go with the average or the majority - depending on the amount of sources involved.

? not sure what you mean here. I do not think I need a permit to have a fish tank.
