This fish was seen at the Texas state aquarium. Its flat, round, doesn't seem to have a pointed "nose" is brown w/yellow spots and a white belly. I do not have a complete picture and no way to share it here at the moment.
 
Do a google image search for "paratrygon." Is this what you saw? If so, these are species of freshwater stingrays.
 
I agree you saw a Motoro ray. They are very common in the pet trade but get pretty big. Not for less then a 2 ft wide tank. Should be even wider. Atleast a 6ft length as well
 
Darn it! You beat me to it. Later last night, I turned the page on my fish atlas, saw that ray, and thought, "you know, that's probably what it is instead. Whatever. It's bed time. I'll throw in a new post in the morning."

That's what I get for my mortal sleeping needs. (sigh.)
:p

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
