I have 5-5 inch Lents. They are aggressive towards every fish I have with them including a 20 inch Silver Arrowana! Unfortunately they are still biting at the tails of both of my Motoro Stingrays but cause no damage at all. I like the fish but am I going to have to sell them???

What size tank ?
What tank mates have you tried Sting rays and other fish that won't fight back aren't good tankmates with more aggressive pikes

Its a 180 gallon. Rays, Clown Loaches, Silver Arrowana, Red Snook, Compressips Cichlid, Fire Eel 20", Tire Track Eel 18". But my 5" Thin Bar Datnoid won't take their crap anymore! He scares the Pikes.
I have an 11" male Lenticulata and he is the boss in my tank. Hes in with some real bullies too. 10" male Oscar, 10" Mono pbass, two 8" Orino pbass, and a 7" Kelberi. Hes not visciously aggressive but he gapes at everything and makes like hes gonna bite them, but never really does. Either way his intimidation technique works cuz everyone else in the tank gets out of his way when he moves through.
My 9 inch Lent is a bully, but all it takes is for someone to fight back then he runs. He flares up at everything though. My aro just ignores him. Lol!
