i have a pair of rays which are expecting some pups soon and i am wondering if they will be ok born in with these fish
16" arowana
16" tigrinus
14" pulcher
10" cambelli
i would hate for something to happen to them before i got them out
thanks
 
all ur fish seem too small to try and eat a pup.

u need to worry about the male biting the pups as they are coming out of the female. as long as the tank is big and the pups dont get trampled alot, i wouldnt worry too much....

What he said
 
when i was new to rays i made a mistake with a 4 " reticulatas and a 14" arowana
The arowana was well fed but still decided to attempt to eat the ray leaving which killed the ray . My opinion is to seperate the female then you dont have any risks of loosing them.
