So I always considered retics to be like the 'Discus' of the Stingray world... but my ~7" Male is an angry fellow when you try to add new fish to the tank.. so far he has managed to devour 4 out of the 6 angels.. killed an acara, curviceps, and syndontis.. but leaves the Corydoras alone? He has also eaten about 20 black skirts..

snapped some crappy shots of him destroying this poor angelfish.. I put it in the tank and turned my back for about 5 minutes and then I saw him munching on something aggresively, even though I hadn't dropped the krill in yet?! Got pix of the aftermath too.. only a few minutes of his handy work before I separated the two lovebirds..

he may be a killer but he is very nice looking.
 
Good to know :D

Too bad I don't import anymore or I would buy them a box(800) of Neons to snack on..
 
still seem surprised that they could take out crayfish???
 
They dont snap the corys do to the 3 spines (or the poison?).

You can even keep corys and motoros together.
 
Monster!
