I may be getting a motoro with a 10" disc and I would like to know if he can be kept with my 7" xb aro. Is this a bad idea? 180 gal tank. Ray has been fed mainly pellets with the occasional shrimp.Also the ray comes with an ornate bichir that is 10" that I'd like to add as well. I don't think the bichir will cause any issues but I'm a little concerned about the ray.

you should be fine if your aro were about 2" then u would need to worry.

Should be okay. I would keep an eye on the ornate. They feed from the bottom like the ray does and there tends to be a eating conflict with them.

Bichers have been known to go after ray eyes...although I know a ton of people that keep them with no issues. As far as the Arrow no worries

I disagree>I have a silver arowana that attacks rays.I removed him because i thought he would get stung.I also noticed the rays were more nervous with the arowana in the tank.
