Good evening everyone,

Out of curiosity, what are some good fish to keep with the listed fishes above? Mainly to clean up all the uneaten pellets and foot that they leave behind?

I remember some from a while ago, did a quick search and came up empty.

Thanks everyone!

Regards,

Seems like a lot of people stock fei feng flagtails,although I've heard they can be scale eaters as they grow
 
Thanks for all the replies guys! Few more follow-up questions:

Geos - I had them in the past but the rays really like to go after them after lights out. So I have to pass on these guys.
Clown loach - do they bother rays? Heard they are sensitive and if they get ich, its over.
Fei Feng Flagtails - I often read they could acquire the taste for slime coat and could bother the rays

Need more info on these guys - pros and cons

Silver dollars, irwini catfish, clown loaches, tinfoils all great clean up crews. Aros and dats won't clean up and can be picky eaters.

Rays also seem to be messy when eating massivore. Passing debris of food though their side wents. Good info, will those fish also not bother the rays and vice versa?
 
None of those fish should bother the rays and vice versa.

Don't feed massivore heavily, that will reduce the mess from the vents and also from the arse end. Pellets equal poo
