Adding a new ray to the tank

[polachecksaquatics]

I purchased 2 male Motoro's in December and am getting a female next weekend. The males are around 5 to 7" (by site) and the female will probably be 4 to 5 (month old). Do you see any problem with them being together. They have plenty of roam space so I dont think space will be an issue. I plan on having my 265 gal. tank set up hopefully in the next couple of weeks and will use their current tank for a hold tank. They are captive and from the same person. Thanks for any suggestions.

The female ray will catch up in no time so no worrys in that . If u intend on breeding in time 2 females would have been better instead of 2 males . The 2 males may give u problems when mature

They'll be fine. Post some pictures.

I see big issue here once that female matures. Dominant male will eventually beat the crap out of the other male and possibly both will be tearing at the female to mate...

Thanks for the good info. I do plan on moving one male out and adding a 2nd female in the near future. I will definitely be keeping a close eye on them, especially when I first introduce her to the fella's. The only thing that would concern me is them dominating during feeding time. I do plan on gettin some pics sometime soon. I'm hooked on them now, so once i get going well, I'll have my eye's on the lookout for some black diamonds.
