how big could a 4-5 inch retic ray eat? i have been looking into rays for a while and i just found one at a local store for 25 bucks so i thought i would give it a try. main problem is i have a few 3.5-4 inch frontosas i want to put with the ray. any chance the ray could eat him? tank also has 2 6inch parrots and 3 5-6 inch fronts. would he be ok with them? i see a lot of people with rays and fronts and parrots.
i also have a tank with 2.5 inch clown loaches and a 2-2.5 inch datnoid, would it be better in with them?
i have been reading freshwaterstingrays.nl and a few other websites and this board, so i think i am ready to try out the retics.

retics are for sure the cheapest, for also one of the hardest rays to keep...

don't keep it with cichlids...

if you realy go forone put it with the dats and loaches, but my advice is start with a motoro... they are a bit more expensive... but at least they are a lot more resintant and easy to keep ;)
 
checked out the store and they had none left? i head retics are easy but since they are imported in bags with like 20 in each most of them are damaged from the trip when imported.
 
ya
did you get them?
i moved the dats and clowns around so now i have a empty tank. an arowana might go in there though.
