Is a 150 gallon aquarium too small for 1 Motoro Stingray?

[Nigel1998]

I've always been fascinated by freshwater stingrays, but kept away from them due to their size. I at one point was given a pair of them when I was 18 and I kept them for 6 months before selling them to a guy with a 220. I fed them by hand and they were awesome.
If 1 can live in a 150 gallon, it's tankmates will be myleus widebars, redhooks, red tail cudas and angelfish, chocolate, and severum with plecos and catfish on the bottom?
I am just curious not saying I am going to do it, just thinking about it.

well they rays will be fine for a time but i would suggest to house him a 200 gallon tank instead

Tank too small, will need to be heavily filtered and aggressive WC regimen. Or a drip. Very temporary home.

Also consider not cohabitating with plecos, especially the wood eaters, I've seen it end badly many times. I have a buddy that has pulled it off with Luteus...but come on...Luteus..$

There's about a hundred threads on damage to rays caused buy several species of plecos, especially the wood eating species. They try to attach to the ray and rasp the skin off...often fatal to the ray. As in any compatibility there are often exceptions and rare situations where fish that normally don't do well together get along fine. When someone asks, it's only right to tell them the safest advice. I've seen neon tetras housed with large silver aros, would I recommend that? Definitly not. Under normal circumstances the neons would be gone by morning! Same with plecos and rays. It's just not a good idea.
