hanover,ma
okay so i just got a 125 gallon tank and i putting my silver arowana and my 7 dwarf plecos any other suggestions on the tank was thing a small ray
 
are you planing on up grading any time soon?
 
i guess i'll be the one to say it... being as someone is,
if your going to get a ray, be prepared to upgrade in a few years as pretty much all rays will outgrow a 125, but yes you could get away with a small ray for a while.
prolly look at a retic if anything.
 
What is the size difference between plecos and aro? That will probably be your first problem, not outgrowing the tank.
 
o no the aro doesnt even touch them they been together sinse they were young its about a 10 in difference though
 
i wouldn't be so sure, sometimes with a change of scenery, fish that have been okay together suddenly dont get along. but you might be fine.
 
Question? do pleco's ever cause problems on rays. i have heard of them attaching to other fish and causing damage.
 
My aro and juruense cat were just fine together for a while too. Aro at 12-14 inches, jur at 5 inches plus streamers and whiskers. One day swimming in tank, next day not a sight.

Yes, they can attach and suck off the protective slime on the rays disk. I have heard of this happening many times. Rays and plecos are always a gamble.
