If you ready for the stingray to die then ya go for it... 90gal is way to small, ur overstocked, and the rays bioload will crash your filtration system stressing the ray out, and the ray will not beable to survive IMO

Your tank is to small for any ray
It's also to small for the shovel nose
Im not sure if it's to small for the oscars as I don't know to much about them
Don't by a ray with your stock or tank size no ifs buts or maybes don't buy a ray

its not to small for the oscars 120g is recomended for 2 but with good filtration you can do 2 in a 90g
yes the shovel noes will out grow but it would be fine for in a 90g for a while but as already said its overstocked with the oscars and the shovelnose
a ray would be poss in a 90g on its own and not for more than a year then it would way out grow but as already said with the curent stock it would crash your filtration and the ray and your curent stock would die

No need to turn nasty. T1 was trying to help and being as blunt as he could to stop you making mistake with a ray. You can disagree but please do not resort to nasty name calling. You will only get banned or deleted!
Have a look at the fish he keeps in his tank, when it comes to Catfish and Rays he knows what he is talking about.
For the record I had a breeding pair of Oscars but I had to move them on as they began to tear chunks out of each other, the reason is that a male Oscar actually occupies and protects an area as large as most people front rooms in the wild. Yes they can be kept in small tanks and I am sure a 90 is fine with good filtration for Oscars but the catfish does need more.

isn't a 90 gallon only 18 inches wide?
if width is important for catfish (which I do not question since I am a catfish keeper), than a shovelnose would need more room than 18 inches eventually. Once it hits around 6-9 inches long, I would be aiming for larger tank if I were you.
