I have 5 tanks. I was thinking of getting rid of all the tanks and buying a big 100Gallon tank. I have no plans yet, it's just a thought.

I would want to put a Sting Ray in the tank, would it be possible to put other fish in the tank?

Also I would get all new fish, but would want to keep my 4 frogs, Snail, Crayfish and maybe 5 clams. Is that possible?

I would sell the tanks, plants, 5 Ghost Shrimp and 18 Fish and maybe Clams.

The fish I was thinking of maybe Fancy Gold fish, Big School of Cory Cat Fish and maybe schools of diffrent gouramis and maybe a school of Silver dollar tetras. I am realy not sure on fish and It is just a thought.
 
Crayfish and sting ray aren't going to mix well in my opinion. You might need a bigger tank too for a sting ray, the smallest ones get like 12" in diameter.
 
I did say 100 Gallons and It will be one sting Ray.

Still not really big enough, the smallest species (P. Scobina) gets to 12" diamter but the most common (and ergo the cheapest), the motoro, has about an 18" disc size when fuly grown. If I recall, most species prefer to be kept in trios (1m, 2 fm).
 
And the answer is still it is too small for a stingray

Simply put, your frogs will be ray food, and what do you think rays eat in the wild? Your clams will be crushed and eaten as will your snails
i know people who have fed crayfish to their rays
Your corys will be eaten and your goldfish will not tolerate the higher temps the rays will need.

Sorry to rain on your parade but you do have to think this one out again
