Keeping stingray help including tankmates!

Yes motoros are a good choice as they are a hardy ray. Others could work as well but motoros are a good place to start. Tank size sounds good. Females can get very large so keep that in mind. Some people have luck keeping tig catfish with their rays. Just make sure they are size compatible. Dats and aros can also work. Some people also keep bichers but I would avoid them as they are a potential issue. Best of luck.

Arrow fine but just be careful with Silvers they can be tricky toward rays when the ray is smaller. Dats fine and appear to be at any size. I have dats ranging from 1.5" to 6" with larger than 12" disc rays, all get along fine. (i moved on my silver arrow as it wanted to eat so much food!!) I have kept 10" plus birchirs with my rays with no issues (touch wood) they all feed together fine. I did have 5 of them but reduced to 2 for a better balanced tank, 5 just looked too many. Not an expert on cats but personally i keep a2 synos just for cleaning up at night plus 2 larger clown loach. Tinfoil barbs a re a great addition as they shoal together and look cool, i keep 9 in my tank.

Tiger cats and pacus take up a lot space and eat a lot of food=waste. You could easily have a shoal of silver dollars with a few nice dats a couple bichers and a couple rays. Plecos well... All depends on the plecos. Some don't bother the rays but most will at some point. Definitely throw an aro in the mix... Except a jardini unless you have somewhere else to put it if/when it turns killer.

I don't think the pacu will be a good idea.

Instead of tiger catfish get a couple megaladoris uranascopis or giant talking catfish. No Pacu. Get a group of redhook silver dollars. Also you should have a quarantine tank for New Fish. I would also recommend buying a captive bred Motoro to eliminate parasites and troubles feeding.
