TURTLES WITH RAYS?

[keepinfish]

So I have seen a lot of public aquariums with Turtles and rays together. I would think that this would not work very good being that turtles could bite the rays.
In a 300 gallon ray pond would it be a bad idea to keep a red-ear slider with a ray? This would be like a 5" motoro with a 3-4" red ear slider and a florida gar.

Already asked, started a thread not too long ago. Saw it at the Dallas World Aquarium. Everyone said it was a no go.

well the ?? is do you want to risk a expensive beautifull fish to a 5 dollar turtle.... motoro worth more to me than a red ear slider

Yea I totally agree. But I just have seen it done and do not understand how it is working? I see a pond in my future and was just thinking.....lol

I have seen leporinus's, Big cichlids, and turtles with rays and then get told it wont work? Does a lot of it have to do with the sizes of public aquariums?

Yes i believe it did come from you, It is around 10" female chinese albino softshell. I love this turtle never bothers any fish in my tank and is a real show piece.

Get yourself a 5000+ gallon aquarium, and alot of combinations become possible.
