opps just spotted that you had yepezi on the list of rays, they may outgrow a tank that size
but the other 2 would be fine

if the rectics have full tails they will outgrow that tank but if they dont have full tails they should be fine in there...since when full grow(with tails) they need something atleast 30" wide

 

[Teagu]

but cant they just curle there tail to the size of the tank

and scobinas are they the same with the tail

you won't find many full grown retics with long full tails especially if they are kept with other rays
scobina have shorter tails

all but one of mine have full tails but yes most dont(IMO they look way better with the full tails) and scobina have shorter tails rectics have super long tails for some reason(tho not as long as antenna rays)

i'd go for the scobina, and as long as the bichir isnt small enough to be food, they'll be fine.
