I am not sure on compatability. Some may become snacks.

well i just got the ray and i checked out its mouth. its too small to eat any of my fishes but will it try to sting any of them?

I dont think it will, I had one before and never stung anyone of my fishes.

be wary of catfishes. A few of mines took a small bite out of my stingray and luckily it healed now

I keep my ray with a few angels that are pretty small and one angel has disapeared so far but I dont think it was my ray because I cant find any remains at all so I am compeletly confused on that one.

Ray's are cheaper than the large tank you need for them...then the over all cost of feeding them....So, the actual price of the ray is cheaper than those other 2 things :thumbsup:
