Hi Guys,

Can ATF be kept with rays? do they tend to ignore bottom dwellers?

Ive seen some Brevis and was debating one to go in with my marble pair
 
I have never done it but I have seen some threads on people that have and it seems to be the rays that have a taste for ATF's, I think it would work on if the tigers are big enough but hopefully someone with hands on experience can help more

I currently am keeping a GATF which is around 7 inches with five stingrays ranging from 16 inches to 7 inches. So far I have had no problem whatsoever with this combination. Both animals appear to ignore each other and just do their own thing. However, the only problem I could see happening is the size of the ATF. If it's small enough to fit in the ray's mouth, there is a large chance it will be eaten.
 
As long as the Tiger is large enough to not get caught by the rays and killed it works great. I have had my VATF with my rays for 3 yrs now and the only issue was when the VATF was 4" and got cloaked by a ray. He made it and never had an issue again.
I do always feed him first thd the rays
 
6-7" Tatf had head removed by a 9-10" ray here........

I'd make sure length of ATF is close to if not the same as disk size of the ray.....
 
Thanks for the replys guys. I might give it a go
