Geophagus Surinamensis AND Stingrays?

[CrAzYNeSs]

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to know your opinions from personal experience. Is this a good match? I read that this geo. is relatively peaceful, but sifts through the sand almost constantly.

Will the rays and the geo. get along? (i.e. no nipping, etc).

Best,
Jeff

Thanks fishman646!

I was worried because the geo sifts through the sand and I didn't want them to nip on the rays.

From you experience, any precautions that I should take?

Just make sure your geo's aren't breeding.. If they breeed they will nip at your rays discs..

son of a... what if I don't provide a breeding spot? They're only 2" right now so I have a while before I need to worry.

They will find a spot.. Mine breed on the glass, wood, rocks. You name it..

Try to get all of the same sex if you don't want them to breed, they can get pretty nasty towards the rays.. Sold my rays off due to the geo's

Now I wish I still had em.
