ok iam not 100% that i wont a ray but want to know if i am.
ive got a 120 4by2by2 tank not stocked or cycled but what species would fit in that tank?
how long does the tank have to be set up?
i have fine sand as a substrate.
would i be able to put bichir or/and cichlids like fm,jd,sajica?
ive found a site which says the minimum for a potamotrygon scobina is 100gallons and a P. Reticulata same 100gallon.
whats you view on this situation

You're half way there!! Get a 240, and then you will be ready to house the smallest species such as Reticulata, Hystrix, and Scobina!
 
yeah but no for a long time
you would deffinatly need atleast 6' long and 3' wide for even the smallest species of rays
 
a 6x2x2 may be ok for a scobina and thats it if you can find one
 
well p14s dont get very big my suggestions would be you could house them in that tank while they are young but you would have to move them in to a bigger tank later on
