They are not as hardy as most rays, they have small mouths and use time on feedings. If there is one ray that suits a discus tank, its a retic if you think sizevice. But food vice, i wouldnt take the risk. Atleast i would get the retics feeding good on food that discus dont eat as easy, fex frozen shrimp etc.. Ive had discus with rays, and when feeding with shrimp or fish filet, the rays get most of it.
