You shouldn't go any smaller than 60 gallons for one ray. Please, please don't into rays without doing extensive research. They aren't fish for beginners and they aren't tolerant of husbandry mistakes.
But if you do it right, they're great fish to keep!

The minimum requirement for a healthy freshwater ray (smallest species available) is 100 gallons. You must also have the specific kind of substrate, they won't use gravel and many sands. You must also provide them the right food in the right way, many captive rays don't eat.

I would recommend nothing smaller than a 75 gallon tank. Rays are not for beginners, and I encourage you to do a lot of research BEFORE you buy a ray.
