Anyone have experience keeping ghost knives and rays together?
I currently dont have either but considering a great deal on a gk and I know I'll eventually get more rays. So...thoughts?

No personal experience with knives and rays but have read that larger knives such as Clowns and Royals can get aggro towards rays. Hey just seen you got the mix (large knives) in your avatar. How did the larger knives get along with your prior rays? I would think that ghost knives are more docile and in return would be less aggro. Just all presumptions on my part though.:(
 
I have a 12"+ black ghost knife that shares a 150 gallon tank with all my stingray pups .They get along great. After feeding the pups I turn off the light and he comes out of his "cave" and cleans up any uneaten food. But with rays as big or bigger than the BGK I fear he would be on the menu.
 
I've had great success with CK and rays as you can see in the Avatar. I was concerned the BGK might nip at the rays disk or something. I went ahead and got the BGK I was looking at... It's pushing 12-14 inches easy. Got it for $40... couldn't pass it up. 

I have kept ghost knifes with large rays and they survived. I think the key is to make sure they have plenty of hiding places, I lay large PVC pipes that the rays can't get into for the ghost knifes to make there home.

I have been keeping large clown knifes with my rays for a long time, so far haven't seen any aggression with the rays.

Did you get the BGK locally from an lfs or a private individual. If lfs which one. For 40 bucks its hard to believe an lfs though.
 
My lfs had bgk that are 4 inches for $8

ShadowStrider, I got it at lfs. For a marble motoro, I'll tell you where.... Jk.. Pets Plus. Decent little shop... However, understand, I usually get a break because of my affiliations...

Understand, I was just curious as I am not familiar with shops up your way. Actually there is only two in the area I even go to anymore and that is once every couple months or longer.
