Anyone keep flagtail aka feifeng in the same tank as their rays? Ive heard not to but have seen it done before. Is it worth the risk to put them together?

I have a 12+ inch flagtail with my henlei ray pair and other tankmates with zero issues yet. Very passive fish and does a great job cleaning up the mess the rays leave behind after eating. I love this particular fish and dont get why so many people see them as problematic unless i just landed a good one.

This is the thing they can be fine for years then just turn and do real damage over night

I had a 12" for 3 years with no issues when it hit 14" it turned mad sucking on aros and rays

It's not worth the risk in my opinion

not worth the risk!!!
i just finished moving my 4 Banded Leporinus into my spare tank after i noticed them collectively bullying & nipping my 2 leos!!!
the tail ends have been nipped off, hope it isnt gonna result in anything drastic; hope it heels fast!!!
