guys , would like to ask what kind of catfish or algae eaters i can put in the comm tank with motoro stingrays and rtg arowana. I tried the flagtail fish but it nearly killed my arowana. I really want to put a janitor fish to clean up the tank of algaes, uneaten food, etc ...

any suggestions, guys ? tks !

hey tks fatlungy ! i actually have a couple of clownloaches but the cleaning job is not enough. will try to go for the tinfoil barbs ... tks !
 
There's plenty of cats that are gentle giants and would be fine in with rays and aros (irwini , Niger etc ) but they won't help in anyway to clean up Algae , clown loaches are a safe bet , ive heard plecs can be prob for rays as they can be territorial and suck onto rays bodys

ah ok ... will take a look at those cats that you mentioned - irwini, niger ... im a little careful now as i had a flagtail chew on the back of the arowana - nearly killed it.
tks for the suggestion, evz !
 
My niger's or irwini have never bothered my aro , ive also got a giraffe cat it seems to be slightly more aggressive than the others never gone for my aro and don't think it ever would , not sure about rays though as seems to be territorial towards tankmates that are bottom dwellers , nothing major just quite a bit of chasing about on bottom (this can cause aros to start jumping as the actions underneath them)
