Stocking with stingrays?

[koop171]

The closer I get to finishing my big tank I am wondering what I can put in with my rays.

I am thinking I want to do two motoros. And one armatus And two other fish at least. But they have to be pretty big. So the armatus won't eat them. I have seen that armtus can be kept with rays. but what else could I keep with two motoros and a armatus?

Keep in mind the tank is almost 600 gal and 36" wide. So 3 big fish and two bigger bottom dwellers is understocked IMO.

So if you have any ideas of what would work plz Let me know and post a pic if you got one.

oh yeah I always forget about Gars because they never have them here would be cool to own some..

Juruense catfish work well too..

some but most get nasty... one other problem is the tend to be slower growers that = a snack for motoro's

I had a gar Bite me as I was vacumming....Yes...gar's agro is waaay high. If i had your money.,....I'd go, 1 aro, 1 datnoid, 1 Fly river turtle (for the girls that visit).

Bottom dwellers...2 motoro + 1 birchir

i am not a huge fan of rays with other fish because of compatibility problems. ether things work out or they don't. if i were to place something with my rays i would probably go for the harmless cheaper fish. Pat from Amazon stingrays has a awesome set up with big bala sharks it looks very nice. i do admit that a nice arowana has crossed my mind a couple times. i have seen this tank it is a nice show tank and if you are thinking of motoro's pm me i might be able to help.
