anyone has experience in keeping a Asian red tail cat with there stingray before? I'm thinking putting one in with my Ray . I heard their mean as **** worse than south american red tail cat is that true?
 
I would just say make sure your stingray is big enough cuz you wouldn't want the catfish to try to swallow them..
 
If they are of similar size, it should not be a problem.
 
I've seen Taiwan aquarists mix large catfish with rays and with success, but you'll need a large tank!
 
Most large cats work well with rays but these guys seem pretty nippy I would not try it myself. Go with a Niger or a Irwini or even one of the shovel nose cats (tigrinus,Juruense)
 
All i know is that my asian red tail took a few chuncks out of my midas and none of my other cichlids would sit on the bottom of the tank at night. And correct me if I am wrong rays only stay on the bottom so I would strongly advise not to do it.
