All in one tank I'm surprised they are all getting along for now. It's been a few months now and surprisingly the Ray has eaten any of the fish and the severum is pretty chill. I thought they couldn't be kept with discus but they get along fine.

I keep similar stock though, 5 rays and a bunch of SA cichlids. Severum, chocolates, and festivum. I think maybe the chocolates will work long term... maybe. How long have you had the tank and ray? Marble looks great with the light base, mini maybe? The red sev looks great, he and the two larger discus should be okay for a long time. I don't think the small discus would hit their size before she got him though. Something looks messed up the tetra, scales upturned and fins ripped? Wondering if your pancake gave her a try already.

I use to have a smaller tank and I had the severum and tetra along with a pair of kissing gurami I believe the tetra got bullied because there wasn't a lot of space to run and hide. I think your right about the ray eventually eating some of the fish. I hope not lol. I don't know if it's a mini but I hope lol. If it gets big Ima have to DIY a plywood tank. My wife isn't thrilled about have a bigger tank lol.

I also have a discus that I rescued from a store and it had cloud eye. I isolated it cured it and now it's doing really well. I hasn't grown much but has recently started to eat a lot and even pushing some of the bigger fish out of its way
