Ray Tank Clean Up Crew

bcfd144 · Dec 11, 2013

Im needing ideas on a clean up crew safe for a Ray tank.
Cant find silver dollars, bala sharks or tin foil barbs large enough for my tank.
Any other ideas?

African Cichlids works well for me. Just need to give them enough hiding space and yes you will lose a few of them.

Just so you know, by rays are 15" to 17". Also have 3 p-bass, gar, large dat and 4 large clown loaches

Large altifrons might work.
A Flagtail may or may not work with rays, be careful as some folks have had issues.

Keep looking for red tail tin foils my group eats the rays poop very active and look great.

Lol you should post that you have other tank mates with your rays. I am sure your clown loaches will do a good job

I have a 14" flag tail in my 300 with 2x 13-16" rays and the mix is great. Flagtail is a vacuum. Some synodontis do well also

They do ok, but not like they should

Well, I plan to still look for some Large Tin Foil Barbs, but I picked up a 2 foot rtc/shovel nose hybrid catfish yesterday. Im not a big fan of keeping catfish in that tank, but we will see how it goes.

But they need totally different water conditions to rays so how does that work
