What is your experience with fire eels and rays?

Really? They would eat a 16 inch eel?

I've seen video of ray going to town on Asian arowana

Ya I saw that video also. The are easily swam away, but a hungry ray may try to jump on anything lol. Eels also can get away rather easily ÷)

Hi Eddie, that looks good, just keep an eye for anything they get out through

the rays will try eat anything they can catch, including arowana and fire eels. my old one used to turn up with bite marks on now and again but i would put them together and im currently looking for a few to grow on to eventually put with my rays again.

I had a good experience with my flower and eel. Should be fine as long as the ray cant fit the eel in it's mouth. A log or some shelter for the eel will help keep it out of harms way.

That's a lovely pic above and love the eel but when I see tanks with decor and lots of bits in the tank I always think my mature female would destroy that in minutes, she would move all the rocks about and knock it all flying.

How big is the ray and how big is the tank?

This was in a 125 (holding tank while moving). The Ray was about 10" in diameter. It was feeding time so they all gathered to that side...

Thanks for the info, how dothe jaguar and the string ray get on, I always wondered if a pushy cichlid would get done over by a ray?
