I've hear of Bichirs taking chunks out of ray disc.

For now, you should do ok. But have your priorties set on who is staying & who will be going when they grow.
 
keep them well fed so that the bichirs wont have an urge to take chunks out of the ray.. its hard to say what will happen.. but the bites wont be too serious unless u got some of the bigger bichrs inside..
 
Do it and experiment and let me know.
 
Keep us updated with pictures of your new ray..... :grinno: :grinno:
 
I think there shouldn't be any problem as i have the following fishes in my mixed comm:-

02 x rays
01 x birchie
01 x dat
01 x asian aro
01 x tigrinius
03 x red hooks

Everyone is leaving in harmony.............

Do keep us posted of your new fishes......... :drool:
