HI
IM THINKING ABOUT PUTTING A MOTORO RAY IN WITH MY FLY RIVER TURTLE, DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THEY CAN LIVE TOGETHER THE TURTLE IS VERY GENTLE WONT ATTACK ANYTHING I HAVE HAD OR HAD IN THE TANK ALREADY. THE ONLY THING IS HE IS LIKELY TO BUMP AND LAND ON IT
LET ME KNOW WANT YOU THINK
THANKS


ALSO IN THE TANK
2 JARDINE ARROWS
1 SILVER ARROW
2 OSCARS
2 TEXAS CICHLIDS
1 3FOOT FIRE EEL
 
how big is your tank
 
if you have a nice sized tank with plenty of room for both not to clash and the aro is a good size then i cant see a issue however if the turtle is bigger than the aro and its a smaller tank then it can be eaten
 
sorry ment to say ray, no idea why i said aro:S
 
also, prob not a good idea since the Texas Cichlids are kinda agressive. Information shows they are a territorial fish.


Info found:
Texas cichlid tank mates:

The Texas cichlid is a territorial fish and you must be careful when picking its tank mates. Only combine the Texas cichlid with fish that can fend for themselves and will not tolerate being bullied. Exactly how aggressive a Texas cichlid is varies considerably from specimen to specimen. You can for instance combine Texas cichlids with other big cichlids from Central and South America.
 
THE TANK IS 375GAL
YES THE TURTLE WILL BE BIGGER ITS ABOUT 9 INCH ACROSS AND THE RAY IVE SEEN IS ABOUT 5OR 6 INCH ACROSS , IM NOT BOTHERED ABOUT THE TEXAS AS I CAN PUT THEM IN A DIFFERENT TANK IF I HAVE TO .

THANKS
 
well I would say maybe.
If you more the Texas, better chance.
But that turtle if it happens to land on the ray might cause a problem.
Its a big tank, so if one ray, maybe. But my opinion Id say no.
Better safe than sorry. But its your tank...
