Ive done it befor on a smaller scale but it worked

It is plausible.. but you need to have a large ray that is feeding well, and able to compete for food with the tiger shovelnose. I had a 20"+ TSN and he gobbled everything he could the second it hit the water, and was gorged massively before anything (prawns especially) hit the bottom..

I pondered this question some time ago and decided without a large tank and the ability to feed heavily without water quality and competition issues, it's not a good idea..

i agree with Miles, I have one with my rays that is about 14" and it is hard to get food to my rays, he can gobble up a lot of food before my rays have a chance!

are they aggressive? what about with my armatus? and do they like to hide?

unknownuza kept a armatus with his P14 with no problems....

Actually his armatus would charge his p14, and eventually he found the p14 with a small rip in the disc.. which is why Li has the armatus now..

u think a large tsn would eat ray pups?

 

[Miles]

Yes.. Fold them up like a burrito.

my 2' TSN ate a an 8" severum.. and I literally watched him slam it down his throat by using the glass and face as a battering ram.

there goes that idea....
