i have 2 clown knifes in my tank theyre 12+" but they had one at the lfs with a motoro and the stingray killed it i would really like a smal colorful fish that breed alot so if the ray would eat a fish it wouldnt be a huge deal...

Im pretty sure they'd all get eaten before they could even get to the breeding part. They can eat ALOT more than you think they can. You'll be surprised when you get your first ray.

I thought you meant like a couple dozen LOL. Unless you happen to have more than 100 by the end of your cycling period, I wouldn't expect there to be any fry left at all, and eventually all the adults killed if your rays cannot eat them.

ok so what if i put a flower pot faceing towards the corners in all of the corners to where the cichlids could be in there and the ray couldnt get to them?
