So im planing to have 79x39x24 inches tank to house my asian arowana wen he grows bigger and i love stingrays and would love to have a pair so i can have some pups from time to time, i was thinking in a bd male with a feamale pearl is this pair possible to this tank size?the will not have any decoration on the bottom.
Also my tap water parameters are ph 7,5 kh 4 and gh 6 are this parameters ok for rays?
If these rays were ok for this tank how much wc should i do per week and what percentage?
Thanks in advance.

Whats the tanks dimension in cm? Ehat kind of filtration are you planning to use?
Wc schedule depends on filtration and feeding routine.

The tank will be 200x100x60cm and the filtration will be a 300l sump... Thanks for the reply

I would say thats enough for a pair of rays. If it was me setting up that tank in would go with an moving bed sump and perhaps and beadfilter for mechanical filtration or some large showerfilter above the tank.

OK I will research on that thank you very much, I was thinking in the bd male because they grow less than females and a female pearl because they grow less than bd and like that I can have a pair. And the water parameters are OK?

The parameters is it anything wrong with. Ive kept rays in ph 8.2 without trouble. The thing is to keep the parameters steady so they fluctuates.

True I wanted to keep like that because I got a Asian arowana that prefers lower ph's, if I maintain the 4 kh would be a problem?

Wild asians do prefer lower ph. Id say you can keep any fish in any ph. Its all about slowly acclimate them. The thing with low kh is its easier for the ph to swing
