How aggressive can stingrays get? With other fish, and their own kind?
I have an 8" female motoro I bought several months ago...I bought her a 4-5" male retic, which was eating healthily but died after a month or so. A few months later, I got her a 4-5" male motoro this time...which then also mysteriously died after 2 months (yesterday)...confused as to why, they were housed alone together, sharing the same water with several other fish, eating healthily and swimming around and whatnot...wondering if there's a chance that the larger female stressed out the smaller males to death? I noticed the males didn't eat much for a few days prior to its death....starting to lose faith in my ability to keep stingrays...especially when motoros are supposed to be the most hardy. thinking of giving up rays for now.
