I currently have two stingrays(Potamotrygon cf. reticulatus.) who seem to be occasionally sucking on and bothering my eel (Mastacembelus armatus). I woke up to my eel pinned against the rock by my ray and he seemed to be sucking on her, she made no attempt to get away though. I was wondering if anyone could possibly tell me anything at all, should i take the eel out? or should it be okay?
rays harming eel?

sounds like the ray is wanting to get a little taste especially with pinning it up against the walls.
thank you
before i remove her i want a few more opinions, i don't think they could actually eat her. The eel is about 5-6 inches and getting fat, the rays are about 4 inches in diameters tops.
The eel at the least will be stressed. The rays will grow MUCH faster than the eel and wil
Harm it. If kept well those rays will double or treble in size in the next 12 months. The eel is likely to try and escape the tank if bothered. IMO either provide a lot of tubes etc for the eel to hide in or move it on.
