Nope.

Not sure what will be on tap for the Armatus in the future. My larger Aimara is taking crazy damage right now and I think it's the trio of Armatus vs him. IF this is the case the Armatus will likely be moved out and replaced with a trio of Tatf. Armatus will either go in the tank that's going up in this thread or the black ray tank which will be going up after this one's up.

Odoe and Armatus didn't jive. Armatus are already big enough they look at the Odoe like steak. Odoe may go into the big tank with the ATF though if the Armatus are moved. I actually have 1 ATF living peacefully with 7 Odoe - been together almost 3 months now. Zero issues.

OK - back to the combo I was referring to. You guys guess it and I'll get some pics/video. Rays and something else.

My only hint was I tried it before and lost what I mixed with the rays, BUT there was debate as to whether or not that fish was really a freshwater fish. This time around the fish with the rays are confirmed fresh water. :)

I never tried this combo cause I wasn't sure what would happen during feeding time, but so far so good.....

Why not? They're a fraction of what rays cost.... lol

The eels do seem very skittish around the rays. The rays could care less bout the eels, they seem to only care about 1 thing - food. My worry was the eels would slip under the rays disk and steal the food and bite the ray in the process, but so far there's been no issues whatsoever. I'm thinking this might work fine with small rays, but could see where larger rays could be overly aggressive, but then again if the eels become less shy as they grow and take on the demeanor of their salty counterparts then things could get real interesting to say the least.......

Seems hard to get bored of this hobby if you have enough stuff swimming around....... lol

Hope this works, I have always had an interest in mixing rays and morays together. Figured given enough cover the eels could fend for themselves. Just didnt want to try it with smaller eels and larger rays.

Everthing is looking good Al, looks like a lot of fun when its time for you to move into a new home;)
 
I guessed instantly you were gonna put the eels in with them lol, you've shown a lot of interest in those lately.
What would worry me is the very different water requirements.. although if they are both thriving in different setups with the same water you should have no Problems :)
 
New stand about half done......

Vid with a few of the eels.

I was worried about this working so I really fed the eels before adding the rays, doesn't really seem like they are very hungry at the time.
