ok i have a 160 gallon tank. In it i keep a flower ray, a beacher (about 4-5 in long) , 2 killis, 3 serpae tetras, 3 angelfish, 3 abromite headstanders, 1 clown loach, and 1 cory cat. It STILL feels and looks empty!!!!!!!!! A lot of the time when i am interested in a fish i am told that my ray will eat it. He hasnt eaten a single fish yet!!! so any sugesstions on what to put in with these guys would be great
my ray is about 3-4 across
 
I assume there is a bigger tank lined up?
 
well actually no the tank is freaking huge thoug its very deep and about a foot and a half wide at its widest. Is that too small???? :irked: if so any small fish?
 
The ray will need a much larger tank.
I assume you're talking about a bichir, which may need larger tank (depending on species)
the other should be alright. I would be interested in taking it off of your hands if you're local (;))

If you want a lively tank, try putting an arowana and datnoids with your ray. But some of the fishes maybe eaten by these two. I guess the only fishes that will live incase you these two guys are the bichirs and the clown loach.

tell me what it is if you can but i dont want to get rid of it unless its completly necessary:)

your ray might not eat them now but you should also consider that the ray will eventually outgrow all your fish and then they will be lunch!
