Payara compatibility.

[rallysman]

Do you see any problems with adding a 4-5" Payara to my 300?
The current stock is:
1x Black Arowana 16"
1x Tigrinus 13-14"
1x motoro ray 5-6" disk
1x marbled pim 11"
3x red head sevs. 3-4"
2x nacaraguense 5" and 7"
1x geophagus jur. (soon to be more) 3-4"
1x pleco 8"
1x synondontus. 6"
1x botia loach 7-8"

If you are going to add a payara I would go with a tat or an armatus. Just because they can hold their own if need be. I just picked up an armatus myself and have been watching him. I was worried at first but seems to be handling himself very well. GL with the payara!

armatus sounds good. thats an awesome stocklist.

 

[rallysman]

well, the LFS has one, but I'm not sure what kind. What are the differences?

Do you see any clashes with compatibility?

Depending on the size. They might go after the smaller fish you have in there.

Second thought:

How about the 3-4" payara with a 6" retic ray in a 75 gallon grow out?

Some are good with rays but then some aren't I would try it and watch them closly and see if there is aggression.
