Before you bother responding - I was JOKING :)

I have never heard of a FRT nipping. You should be ok.

FRT's are notorious for killing fish. There are various schools of thought on the reasons and how if at all its preventable.

Some people say its only a matter of time, others say give it some protein with a varied diet and it wont go after your fish...

It all boils done to your own personal fish keeping philosophy and the risks you are willing to take.
 
GR8 are they? Never heard of this. I have had them in the past, and a friend has one - His is currently about 8 inches and living with goldfish and a pleco with no problems. Mine were babies, and left fish well alone, too.
Maybe it's when they hit a certain size?

this is why im a slave to water changes until I can get a drip system in :)
 
Wish you luck. Just remember this hobby wouldn't be what it is today if no one had courage to mix aquatic creatures.

The key is having enough experiance to realistically think it will work and give maximum effort to make it work. Again GL with it.
 
another member on here Michael had the same mix with a couple rays and he didn't have any problems if I remember correctly wish you the best of luck
 
here we go....

dripping right now!

smaller than i thought so all i really have to do if make sure the frt behaves!
