I wish jaguars were ok with rays i love those guys

 

[Onion01]

lol, thanks stingray man. Anyone know about the barras/perch?

NOt sure on the perch, but I think the oscar would be doable if its a mild tempered one and the motoro is already pretty large. I mean motoros aren't THAT passive for a ray, and oscars are pretty passive (in my case extremely passive).

Its tough because I would be afraid the motoro would eat the tankmates if they aren't big enough. They seem to be notorious for that.

unfortunately motoro eyes seem to be prime targets for most cichlids. I really want a barra or nile perch. Maybe li can chime in...

 

[stingray man]

Yes i have seen oscar ray combos many times but every one on here says no, i geuss better safe than sorry. But if u have an extra tank i think you could try it
