and how you'll pick him up if he doesn't!!

yes pix please... i love seeing people in my area with rays...
I have four in my 320, but there are also bichirs, cats, dats, and arowana in the tanks. Big sump, 4 ac 500 and I do 50% water changes weekly. I want to upgrade and split them up into two tanks: Rays, Dats and Arowana and the other gars and bichirs.

The three P. Motoro I have are in a 350 gallon round stock tank. My personal opinion is that my tank is at maximum occupancy.
I like to see the rays have plenty of personal space, additionally, I like to keep them on their toes (pelvic fins) by dropping morsels at random locations throughout the tank.
The abundance of "open" floor space in the tank lends itself to all the above.
Just my $0.02,

I think it comes down to 2 things;
Aggression and Competition
and
Water Quality and Water Changes..
those 2 are your limiting factors if tank size is adequate.. If you have aggression problems from overcrowding, you have too many.. Rays are skinny from too much competition, you have too many.. If the water quality is always poor, you have too many.. If your nitrates build up faster then you can change water, you have too many..
