Ok now just looking for some input, my 330 gallon diy tank wont be ready for a month probably, thats with the cure times for everything so im here to get opinions. Im planning on putting a 9" leo female in my pool with an 18"+ orange flower motoro male and a 17"+ marbled motoro female. Ive been watching a lot of youtube vids of peoples collections and ive seen some pretty small rays in with some giant ones so im assuming im safe but i just want to see what the experts on here have to say. Vamptrev said it would be ok and i take his opinion like i would the opinions of the fish god™ mr jeff rapps(wouldnt doubt what either said for a min). I just want to see some more feedback before i put a 1300 dollar ray in with the big wild guys.
 
section off a part of the tank for her till she settles in and then try introducing them, if it works you're job is done, if not then re-insert the divider.
 
Ive never had problems with mature male picking on immature females but every ray is different. I think it will be ok but deff have a backup plan if he does pick on her.

Ime mature males don't hassle immature females as long as they have a mature female to chase.
 
Cool thanks everyone. My bulkheads should be here today so this weekend i will be fiberglassing her 336 gallon diy tank then all that will remain is to order the glass and install it. Ill throw together a 600 gallon holding pond to have for her no point in risking it and its cheap and easy like 200 bucks maybe less because it was only 250 for the 1000 gallon im building for the other fish. I got an updated pic of her yesterday ill post too so everyone can say wait im waiting on
