quick question bout tank size

[ethnics]

i have my baby female retic in a 40gal with 2 baby ocars right now. but i think they keep nibbling at her tail. i was wodering if i had enough filtration with no substrate on a 10gal standard tank. could she be okay in this tank for a while? i also want her alone so i can get her feeding. she's only about 3" disc. i jus dont want her gettin picked on and the tank i want her in has 3 huge gars n im sure they'll devour her at her size.


so, 10gal with more then enough filtration so i can get her feeding and back to normal health? bad idea? okay for a lil while? i dont have any spare 30-50gal tanks n i wanna move her asap. thanks

Why don't you leave the ray where it is and move the oscars?

^^^really^^^......do not put her in a 10 gallon that is way way way to small...if you have to buy a rubbermaid tub and throw a filter on it...

just dont put her in a 10 gallon that is tiny for any sized ray

because the 40gal oscar tank isn't mine, its my lil brothers. i was jus using it for my baby ray because the oscar tank already has sand for substrate, and the ray was smaller then i thought it was gonna be so i dont wanna put it in my 150 with monster gars that could possibly eat her. or eat all possible food b4 she gets to it.

send the ray to me and do not buy another ray, you are not ready

actually im gonna keep my ray, and buy 4 more. thanks for your help anyway

do not by 4 more rays, an 150 isent enough for 1 full grown ray as it is.. But if i was you, i wouldent buy fish till im 100% ready. Ask your bro if u can leave the ray in his tank for a week or so just till it gets feeding. and move those oscars.

Give him $20 for the oscars and toss em in the 150 for now. They may or may not get eaten and if they dont then you get lucky and can get your $20 bucks back and give em back to your brother.

Thats mature.

You asked for help on tank size. You were told a 10 gallon is too small for 1 (even temporarily) now you're going to buy 4 more?

Why did you ask for help in the first place???

If you arent willing to at least go out and get a rubbermaid to hold her unil she is ready, then MAYBE.... JUST MAYBE,
you ARENT ready for rays.
Sometimes the truth hurts.
