So, I'm on my way to setting up my new tank for my motoro. Right now, in the old tank, it's just him and a bunch of feeder fish (guppies, mollies, platys, Chinese algae eaters, etc.). When I move him to the bigger tank I was hoping to add a few other, non-bottom feeding fish. My first choice would be a breeding pair of angelfish. Would that work? Does anyone have experience keeping angels and rays together in a tank?

If you like angelfish without heads its a good mix. They are way to slow and weak to make it. I had a few that were not getting along and tried them in the 300 with the rays. Not so good. These were full grown angels and the rays were only 9-10 inch disk then.

Motoros should be vicius Hunters, but some have had succes with them and discus. I dont know with angels, but my guess is that their gonna eat them. As said some have had succes with discus, so maybe.

Who has had success keeping discus with full grown motoros? Discus=expensive snack.
