New Tank +need for Stingray=?

[Loony Fish]

Hi,
getting a new custom tank (6'X2.5'X2') and would love to get a Moroto.

The only other tank mates would be my 4 discus (R.I.P. my old red leopard discus (last night))

Water parameters would be pH=6.5-7.0 temp=80-82F soft water.

Can you keep more than one ray per tank? can you keep different types in a tank?

Thanks

What are some other tank mates for rays?

 

[reefman]

what is a moroto lol a motoro can stay in that for a few years you can keep other rays with it and for tankmates nothing agro i have sd'd,angels geos and some cats in with mine

He he, I mean motoro.

So is it a go???

 

[penman]

again for a while as they would out grow the width, but most non aggressive fish or not small enough to fit in there mouth or close to them thinkin it will which can be the case!

 

[Loony Fish]

Would they hurt the discus?

 

[penman]

no i have had them together for some time but again the rays will overtake in size and can some times trap smaller fish to investigate but mine motoro`s were ok just seemed to be adult leo`s that were the worst for it! just dont put dither fish in as well u wont have many left if any? and try get pairs of rays if can?..................... less imports down the line!!

 

[Loony Fish]

Could I do that long term?

 

[penman]

well every situation different and i dont c y not? just keep an eye on them and u should be fine as discus are fairly non agro and origanally from same areas.

Thanks.
