I know rays eat other fish but here is my question. I have 3 motoro stingrays, 2 males at 12'' and a female at 10'' being this size, that size of fish will they try and eat? I want put them with my 6'' oscar 8'' oscar and almost 11'' arowana. even if they cant eat the fish will they still try?
 
Yes, they might still try possibly even sucking their eye balls out! :WHOA:

Im at work right now but can somebody post the picture of my ray pwning my gar? :ROFL: If not I will do it when I get home...
 
They like Characins best......

:swear::wall:

Simply can't be trusted......

In MY experience bigger scaled fish seem to do OK......

BAHAHAH that PIC IS GOLD, is your GAR okay?

each ray is diffrent tho...
like if u put it in while the ray is young, it should be okay.

espeivcally if its surface fish, like the silver aro.
because the silver should be growing rather quickly too.

ive kept a 10cm silver aro, with my 15 cm motoro before with no problems at all.
but i think the best way to find out, ptu a few fish in i duno gurami's or something, and just see how it takes to them.

if they do good for about a month. id go for it.

after all arowanas and stingrays are a common combaniation.
not too sure about the oscars (seams to be a hit and a miss)

good luck mate
 
the ray would slurp it down like spaggetti, might take a while but no real problem
:)
I have had rays eat knife fish, aros, juruense, tigrinus, etc etc....the more a fish costs the more a ray will enjoy eventually eating it
 
Thanks for finding it bella....

The ray was fine in the end, once the ray figured it wasnt going to fit they got along just fine.
