RTC with Motoro

big enough to scare me lol ... its a healthy well fed rtc ... i wouldnt be suprised if it was over 12" in length (going from memory, its been a few weeks since i saw it)
correct me if im wrong, but sometimes RTC get along ok with smaller fish in the tank, but thats also when they are middle / top level swimmers.
it concerns me a little bit more since they will constantly be bumping into each other on the bottom
or if the ray buries itself, the rtc will think its even smaller and be apt to try and gobble it up

Hey there.
I used to house them together for 3 months and decided to sell my rtc as he's too greedy. Lol...
Different fishes with same species mentioned has different characteristics so it's hard to tell..
Maybe Ur rtc is very easy going like mine, won't be an issue to mix them together with motoro.

I don't have any experience with RTC's and rays together but I do have some experience with RTC's in general. I have found that some RTC's will be OK with a wide range of tank mates and other RTC's will basically kill anything in the tank even fish that are bigger than them. Generally they are calm fish but I have seen a couple that were real though guys and they are very powerful even at 12" and you would be surprised at what they can do. I have seen a 12" RTC kill an oscar that was twice it's wight and this fish was feed well and was not starving by any means and it was only these two fish in a 90g tank so not like they were that cramped either.
You may be fine but I personally would not risk it with a ray especially a ray that is smaller as it is likely the RTC is going to grow faster than the ray if feed properly.
I believe Shed aquarium had to take there RTC out of the big tank exhibit in the amazon section because it was beating up on other fish and there are some monsters in that tank. I'm pretty sure it actually killed one of there big rays but don't quote me on that because I can not be to sure of the source I got the info from.
