If you could get the exact length, widht and hight, we could help alot more.
Have you read trough the stingray profiles? Heres a link, your gonna see the abselute minimum tank sizes there.

If you can get the exact footprint of the tank, it would be great, 8 feet dosnt say much, we need width too
!
I saw that too, the Ray stabbed the meat exactly like a scorpion-type angle. Arching over its back. My largest female arches her tail and jabs my male when he pisses her off. She's a more gentle Ray with the other rays and tankmates than he is but she will jab him from time to time. She definitely has control of her tail.
To the OP. I think you have way too big of a stock list unless you're in the 600g plus range with a drip system. Many of those fish could cause problems, stressing rays. Getting eaten by rays. The small catfish could be choking hazards.

This isnt where i read it the first time but, it says the same thing here: http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/stingray-risks/2006/09/04/1157222056511.html

Ok guys look. I might buy one. But tell me this I have oscars and they eat their food in seconds. Secondly I have a sun catfish which are about 4 inches long. And I feed them sinking food but it isn't proper sinking food I just crush my pellets so that they sink so the question is the stingray a very slow eater, because if it is I might not survive in my tank. The second question I hope is that i hope it wont eat my fish.
I think you should just relax a little
First of all what kind of a stingray have you looked at? You have to find one of the species that dont grow into monsters. How big is your tank? (In footprint. Lenght x width x hight)And secondly, stingrays dont do good with oscars, i know someone that tryed, and the oscar kept attacking the stingrays. It was ok as long as the stingrays stay at the bottom, but when they start swimming up to the surface, the oscars attack. Again, it might work, this is just one case.
Have you looked at the stingray profiles? Where it states abselute minimum tank sizes, and sizes. The sizes are disc sizes, and does not include the tail.
But first, what is your tanks footprint?
Rays very much have control over their tail. Have you watched any males trying to breed a female and while he is attempting to breed her she is trying to stab him with her barb. If not you need to look it up. I have a video of my male trying to breed the female and she is stabbing away with her barb/tail trying to fend him off. And let me tell you it isn't involuntary, its completely controlled!
When they say involuntary they may mean its reactionary as in controlled defensive reaction, but they have every bit of control, and when they want to stab they stab.
To the OP always remember if you get a ray, when working in your tank work slow with out sudden quick movements and always be aware of where they are.
