Larry dalberg(hunt for big fish) had a show where cesar his guide took him to a spot he had been trying to go to for years and they caught aimara and rays one after another standing on the bank. They live side by side in the wild dont see why it couldnt work in a tank. They caught a lotta rays and aimara very good show.

+1, I don't see why so many people freak out about certain fish. Do you think in the wild that Aimara just go around eating everything and anything in sight? No! Of that was the case there would be no fish but Aimara. It's all about how you introduce fish together. Aimara are very territorial so obviously you don't want to add a new fish to a tank that has had an Aimara by itself for a long time. It's best to add fish all at once. And I have noticed that with aggressive fish the more fish and activity there is in the tank the less aggressive they are. Stingrays don't pose much of a threat to most larger fish and most fish steer clear of them and their stinger anyway. It's obvious that you should have fish that are larger than the aggressive ones. Use common sense and think of how these fish would co exist with one another in the wild.

My Aimara will take your fingers off!!

You might as well throw all this "Wild senario's" out the window. A glass water box is a lot different then the wild. It's all a matter of you want to to "risk it" then go ahead and try. If it works for you then so be it. I wanted my Aimara due to it's aggressiveness and killer instinct! I didn't buy my Aimara to see if it would go in a community tank with other fish, I wanted it to be exactly what it is a "natural born killer". I can't even put my hand in it's tank anymore! Now that's an Aimara!!
 
Wolf fish have attacked people swimming, I would never in a million years risk one with my rays

Neither would I. Untill I saw people mixing Falkneri and Boesemani with them. I thought if they were willing to try it and it worked why not give it a go? I tried it and seemed to work. If the Wolf snaps and kills then it's my fault and hey, better me then you right? BUT if someone else tries it and enjoys it as much as I do then that's great too. :)

Pitbulls attack people everyday. Does that mean this breed should never be kept by anoyone? Or should they only be kept by responsable people? Should the same be said for fish?
 
I am not brave enough to try anything like that but I give you props for doing so. I couldn't sleep at night with that toothy thing in my tank with my other fish and rays.

But you know the fish and have calculated the risk
