Hey all , so a guy here just got some Motoro rays in size of a normal CD disc.

ive got a 175G tank about 2.2ft wide with a RTG arowana as its only habitant so im wondering how would 1 or 2 motoros do in it? (sizes of a cd disc roughly) other planned tank mates would be a tigrinus eventually but other then that just the RTG most likley . i will probally be upgrading to a bigger tank but that will be awhile away still so.

Any ideas / advices?

start here. females can get 30" or bigger diameter....males may stay a little smaller

that tank could last you a couple of years


A couple of years? i should have been upgrading by then .

how long is a while away?
Not sure really its all depending on how fast they grow i guess , but if they can manage over 1 year it should be fine they usally got the ability to make u feel they need a bigger tank so u never know :)

Thanks for the help guys.

Having taken advice from people I respect to know...i does seem that some females grow faster and larger than others.

Factors seem to include: long term tank size, food intake, genetics, water quality but I suspect there are many others. The tank size is bound to cause argument but some people have evidence of smaller tanks holding back the eventual size to some extent.
