I have a 90 Gallon tank that I am wanting to put a fresh water sting ray. The 90 currently is home to 2 6'' oscars, 2 6'' green severums and a pleco. I want a stingray in with them.. Would they get along
 
no. stingrays minimum of 125 gallons IMO depending on species.

two oscars in a 90 with sevs and pleco? not a good idea either, but to each his own. hope your filtrations pretty hefty.

I agree with the above. You should be doing lots of waterchanges and hopefully upgrading soon with the fish that you already have.
 
your fish are fine where they are as they are. no ray though... not only are they pretty big and require a larger tank footprint but a re very sensitive to water quality and oscars (or basically ANY other tankmates) would be healthy for rays
 
I think the ray would be at risk. Oscars are very territorial.
 
I would not mix rays and oscars just because oscars are super messy fish. It would make it difficult to keep the water quality up.

Your tank is too small for rays anyway.

The Filtration is a Rena XP3 and a AC110 I got for 45.00 at Petsmart. I was just wondering. If I decide to put a ray in my 220 what are good tank mates..
Take mates are gars, arrowanas, loches, angels, discus, and more rays. there are alot of other tank mates but alot of them arent a 100% like some ppl have great luck with oscars...some have rays with no eyes and holes in the disks when they walk up one day.
