Hydrolycus tatauaia . Ya I was watching the one day and it ended up biting out one of the eyes of one and then just cornering it in the tank. The other one may have been a ray as I didn't see the first one die. It's been 3 months since then and no problems since but I was busy and never fed twice day like usual and everyone got more aggressive in the tank.

Are they still legal to export out of Austraila?

Still banned from export from oz
 
Captive Brezhnev would have to be micro chipped and come with CITIE papers and the breederwould have to have he's own beach
 
Indonesia still allows exports of captive-hatchlings from food market destined egg collections from wild nests. Egg collection numbers, for food markets, haven't dropped below 2 million/yr even with the CITES inclusion. Papua, New Guinea and Australia have banned all trade in FRTs.
There is no CITES paperwork required to export FRTs from Indonesia, what's required is an export permit. There is also no tagging procedure in place (either tattoo or microchip) for export-authorized FRTs. And, there is zero paperwork required by the end-user (retail customer) when purchasing an FRT in the US.
 
After reading this thread right the way through I have to say that my personal opinion is that it would be reckless to try this combo in anything under a true monster tank and anything less then you must have rocks in your head....as much as I love the concept of keeping one!

Your right to tell the tuth even in my tank I was thinking they needed more space to keep out of each others way
 
I purchased a FRT for my daughter and currently have it with some faster moving fish... Geos and Dameons, they get along for the most part. Occasionally I'll find that the turtle has taken an impressive nip out of their tail/fins... And these are faster moving fish. I can only anticipate the same happening to a stingray which tend to me stationary more often.
