Atlantic Ray (Brackish)

[26pets]

I know there's lots of threads going around on Atlantic Rays. But I have a few questions.

1.) Can a Atlantic Ray live in Brackish to High Brackish with no problems?

2.) What are some tank mates I can have with rays? Gar? Datnoid?

3.) Can I do a bare bottom tank with them or should I have sand?

4.) This tank is going to be over 180gl. Haven't decided yet.... And Heavily Filtered.

YES
2.) What are some tank mates I can have with rays? Gar? Datnoid?
Gar and Dat's are typically non-problematic
3.) Can I do a bare bottom tank with them or should I have sand?
No matter, it will help to have a CC type sand to help buffer your water though
4.) This tank is going to be over 180gl. Haven't decided yet.... And Heavily Filtered.
This is not a question...

good luck

YES much better for them the produse less waste
2.) What are some tank mates I can have with rays? Gar? Datnoid?
Not if your tank is gonna be breackish... look into brackish fish
3.) Can I do a bare bottom tank with them or should I have sand?
Personal choice i prefer barebottom easier maintence
4.) This tank is going to be over 180gl. Haven't decided yet.... And Heavily Filtered.

Can I have a Mbu puffer?
A F/W Lionfish?
Needle Nose Fish?
F/W Flounder?

mbu is pure freshwater and will out grow the 180 so no on that

Go with Caribsea Torpedo Beach sand. It doesn't compact and hold waste. It's pretty much maintenance free.
