I have a Motoro pup coming in soon ~5-6". The tank I'd like to house him in for a bit is littered with about 10-15 various loaches, Yoyo, Queen, Polka Dot, & Angelicus. I have had many many large fish with these small 4-5" loaches that haven't attempted to eat any of them. Is there anyone who has had experience with this combo? Should I just move the loaches to another tank?
 
bump for my own curiosity
 
Being a first time ray-keeper, I have no idea how big a 5-6" disc Motoro mouth is. I am leaning towards just moving the loaches after seeing that...

I wish I could get a hold of a picture of the mouth of a comparably sized ray...
 
It'll work for a while I have 5 4-5 inch loaches I'n my 8-9" rays and they try to eat my loaches but no go. But they are at risk even if they can't eat the loach if the ray gets them under there disk they can suffocate the loache.
 
I'm going to move them tonight when I do water changes.... It's going to be very fun catching them.
 
same here ^^^ . i have 2 yoyo's, 4 clowns, one chinese algae eater to net from one tank and 11 small african cichlids to net out of another tank TONIGHT for rearrangements.

thanks for the info.
