Hey y'all, does anyone think that my baby motoro should not be put into my community tank for safety concerns? I have 2-8" RTC's and a 10" TSN as well as several peacock bass up to 9" in the tank. There is already a 8" male motoro in the tank and he is definitely dominate with the other fish. Is this a safe move or should I avoid it for now, thanks.

never had any problems with my rays. i had a 4-5" ray with a 2x8",10",13" ray and 3x10-12" peacocks without any problems. they all tend to do their own thing. I say had because i sold the 5", had it for about 3-4 months without any issues tho.

Should be ok, but I do not trust RTC's. I've had them eat things that I would have sworn could have never fit in their mouths!

with the ray being flat and flexible, I'd hate for an RTC to get an angle on a pup. Also RTC grow so fast, they seem to constantly size up everything in their tanks.
