If you are getting rid of the peacock bass, try some larger tetras.

In the time it took you type this out you could have just thrown out some ideas. If you think they should search instead of asking just don't post why waste your time and the OP's time by telling them to search?

Anyway, I keep discus with my rays on and off they seem to do quite well together.

the best tank mates for rays is sevrums.find some super red sevrums they are nicer than most discus.satnoperca lucostica and jurupuri are amazing tank mates too.pretty much all geos go good with rays.i have also kept rays with red tail barracudas with sucess
