Welcome aboard

Definitely a large aquarium 8x4x2 especially for the Stingray.

Yea a 8*4*2 would be Good. But I'd go bigger due to the pikes or rather not add them cause they can get pretty nasty

 

[Rocksor]

Depending on what type of pike cichlid you are talking about, even an 8 foot tank may not be big enough to stop the carnage once they reach adulthood.

 

[Deadeye]

I agree with the above. These cichlids may not be the meanest, but do get a good size.
Agree that the pikes are completely species dependent.

Dwarf Pike Cichlid? I figured about 500 gallons makes sense.

 

[duanes]

Somewhere between 300 and 500 gallons, for that list as adults.
I attended a talk by one of the for most experts on rays, and she recommended nothing under 300 gallons for even the smallest of rays.

 

[Deadeye]

Dwarf pike should be okay. Feisty but I can’t imagine something so small could do much real damage.
Sounds like a really cool biotope! I’d love to see it set up!

Dwarfs would be okay
