I feed this guy twice a day,as much as he will eat. Shrimp, tilapia, massivore, worms, a nice varied diet. He's had several tankmates; polys, monos, occels, clown loaches... Never any aggression. Yesterday he ate 3x3" orinos, all bigger than the clown loaches that are currently in his tank as well. WTF, sad day...
 
But he only eats orinos... That's what I don't get. He never ate any occel, or mono of the same size, I've had him with 1" endlies, and 1" senegals and never any problems...Just orinos...
 
Mine enjoyed Armatus..... Tough lesson to have to learn, about rays eating fish, and that dividers don't always work as well as you would think.....

Sorry for your luck....
 
i have a 10" ray that always tries pouncing on my temensis. for some reason they like the taste of pbass ha ha

I guess I have a lot of "mean ass" Marbles, as I've lost Dorado, and knives as well. If the fish is small and the ray is big enough it's bound to happen. Don't even need a "mean ass" ray, just one that's hungray and capable of pinning the fish down.
 
Mine like pink tailed chalseus. Even when the pink tail is 5 inches and the ray 6-7 inches.
 
I used to have a leo that liked the taste of Florida gar. She ate the faces off my gars as well as a large royal pleco I had with her.
