Towanda PA
125 gallon

6 tiger silver dollars 3-4 inches
4-6 red head tapajos 3-4 inches
2-4 electric blue acaras 3-4 inches
1 flagtail 3-4 inches

A couple stingray pups for a grow out

I can see the flagtail maybe sucking on the rays but besides that does anyone else see any issues?

Upgrading tank size in the future isnt a problem for me

I don’t see any problems except for the flag tail and rays, I had a similar setup with 6 silver dollars and the Geos but I also had clown loaches

I thought about clown loaches but disnt think it was a good idea with smaller loaches and rays
 
If you switch the silver dollars for columbian tetras and remove the flag tail you basically have my tank.
Never had issues but the EBAs get a bit touchy when they breed. Both groups of fish leave each other alone and do their own thing. Think you should be fine but don't know enough about Rays to comment on them.

Make sure you can get enough food down to the rays.

Sounds like a good setup. Only thing I would be concerned about is the eventual size of the loaches, still you've got a few years before you need to worry about it.
