VATF tank size?/Tank mates

[Luke tomkinson]

Hello as some of you may know im currently in the process of buying an 8Lx3Wx2H i have been looking at what fish too stock it with i wondering would a VATF be able to

>live with rays{i decided on marble motoro and possibly some henlei till they out growth the tank}
>Are they generally the type of fish as they get bigger they become more aggressive and can turn on tankmates??
>Would i be able to keep 2-3 of them in this size tank{i can go a bit wider and taller and will most likely go 8Lx3.5Wx2.5H}
>How big do they get in captivity[ i read on here that the max they get is about 2' in very good conditions??is this true}
>Could i keep one with a fly river turtle would the VATF bite its shell {the turtle is 18 inches}

thank you in advance i know some of these questions to depend on the personality of the fish but i still hope you can help me!!

Will get more aggressive as it get bigger and turn on smaller tankmates. Similar sized fish will help. Keep solo as groups end up dwindling down to one. Should be fine with rays. 18in is the average but can get 2ft. Should be able to keep with a frt. Make sure ur filtration is up to par along with ur water change schedule and/or drip system.

8in should be fine. Can never predict what fish or a frt will do.
