I am getting a 155 gal. and want to get a delhezi bichir and a teacup stingray. can they go together?
 
Make sure that the Delhezi isn't so large that it will nip the tail of the ray.

can a datnoid go with it as well
 
I wouldn't recommend that bicher with that ray at all i had a retic in with a bicher and the bicher first ate his disk and then his eyes all within 8 hours while i was at work. I dont think that datnoid will do much to him their kinda shy in my experience to be safe let the ray grow a little.
 
i have 2 10" ornates and a 6" motoro and they always chill out together. never had any problems thus far.
The datnoid could be a bit of a bully towards the ray but should be ok too.
 
my endlicheri was small and managed to kill my 9" female motoro i will no longer keep bichirs with rays
 
i think we are all decided it is too much of a risk.

I have a 14" P. Endlicheri with my 6" Diameter Male Motoro and it goes very very well. The main rule of keeping bichirs with a ray is dont starve your bichirs....
 
my bichir was never starved always well fed and fat

aw, i guess the personality of your endli is different from mine.

Good thing 2 of my 14" P. Endlicheri doesnt distrub my motoro.
