Hello! In the fishroom that I'm planning I was going to include a 500g with a black arowana, discus, and motoro stingrays. What (if any) clean up crew could you add with fish that would eat the normal shrimp or snail? Thanks!
 
Tbh wouldn't add any cleanup crew because the Motoro Stingray alone will produce massive amounts of waste.

Thank you both very much. The waste is denintely something to consider. From what Kelly_Aquatics Kelly_Aquatics said, I think that the pictus catsfish would match the theme I'm going for and I didn't think of those.
 
I think Pictis cats will be a bad idea once the ray and Aro get much bigger than it. Same goes for the discus.

I like to keep silver dollars with my rays because they aren’t shy to eat the ray crap, or at least rip it up enough that the filters can handle the rest.
 
Tinfoil Barbs, either the Altus or standards. Very similar to SD's but more durable & not skittish.
Mine are literally pigs.
