I figured it would be interesting to see what everyone's opinions are on their top two favorite tank mates for rays. It would also be informative for other keepers to read on experiences of others! You must have personally kept the tank mates with the rays and not speak of something you have seen. Also list the reason or reasons they were your favorite. No you can't list other rays as your favorite because that's cheating lol.

My first favorite were my red hook silver dollars. They were very active and offered a lot of mid water movement which I loved. I could also count on them to clean up any food that my rays missed. They also were one of my top two because I had no issues at all with they harming the rays and they had no aggression towards the rays.

My second favorite of all time has to be the Niger cat I had. He was awesome. He offered a very peaceful personality as well as the ability to Hoover the whole bottom of my tank. He had an awesome look with the spikes down his side. He also offered no aggressive behavior not the ability to harm the rays as he didn't have the mouth for it!

These are easily my favorite two tank
mates of all time for my rays! I look forward to seeing what everyone else has to say about their favorite two!

African tiger scat and jade goby. Both were ideal tank makes, unusual and non aggressive towards the rays.

Niger cats are great. I had a couple rays in the past that actually attacked their fins though.
 
Aimara.

I find it comical that the very fish that is supposed to kill my rays acts as though it's defending them from me...... :)

I do really enjoy the interaction between wolves and rays, most of my fish ignore or hide from the rays, wolves seem to actually interact with them.
 
15 inch male Xingu 1 pike cichlid. Looked sweet with my Rays. Like snakehead almost. Didn't have a issue not even a nip even was afraid of the Rays. Fed cautiously around them made sure not to nip them when going for the same piece of food.
Had a tor tor mahseer was great didn't bother Rays but was cautious of Rays.

My favorite fish to keep with rays are rays. I have kept a dozen different types with rays and have tinfoil, gator gar, and an iridescent shark right now. I honestly have never been settled on what fish I like with them. If I did not have these fish here I would not have any with them. I would rather spend my time and money on well.... my rays (:
