ditch the pleco. occasionally they do ok together but 99% of people will tell you there is serious risk with any pleco and stingray

Get rid of both as common plecos can suck on the ray and bichir's have been know to bite rays discs.

I have a couple plecos I have kept with my rays, right now I have a green phantom in my ray tank and its doing really well, im more worried about the pleco then I am worried about the ray.

angels and silver dollars will be fine for now but once the ray gets big will be eaten
