Ray and Cichlid Compatability

[evojoey]

I'm getting my first rays this week. A pair of retics. I've been doing my research on here and think I'll be ok. I was wondering if they could be kept with Geohpagus sp. "Redhead Tapajos". I think they would be a nice touch in my show tank. The geos as you may or may not know are very peaceful, they don't even bother my lemon tetra's. I know thet the rays may go after the tetra's so if I see that I have another tank for the tetra's. Any insight is appreciated.

Just make sure the geophagus are large enough to not become a meal for the rays.

Great, I thought so but I had to ask. The Geo's are in the 4"-6" range.

Sweet man! Cant wait for pics! Good luck with the rays. I think they should be fine with geo's. Esp if there pups. My motoro dosent even bother goldfish.

Of course pics will be posted, as soon as I get them in the tank. Redheads are doing great by the way.
