Mine (who only has a six inch disk, and is fed twice a day) has eaten:
1 Adult angelfish, the female in the pair (taller than his disk is wide)
1 Peacock eel (who was bigger than him)
1 Black Ghost knifefish
1 Senegal bichir
4 Bala Sharks

Well, what tankmates have your stingrays eaten?
 
None! I have had up to 14 adult rays and all it comes down to is....size and compatibility. Put in small fish then you are just asking for trouble.
 
Lets see so far one of my marble females has decapitated a Blood Parrot, 3 pretty big Discus, 1 clown knife that was a little slow, and the convict must have really pissed her off because she just ate him whole. Also have other rays that just enjoy munching on the cichlids the where being kept with at the time. Had a couple eels disappear as well, I suspect foul play.
 
So far, the only thing I have lost is a 6" Bala Shark that I had in with my larger rays and two bleeding heart tetras I had in with the pup we have now.. Wife wasnt happy about the bleeding hearts due to they were the first fish she bought when we stqarted this hobby 4 years ago. Had them till just about 2 weeks ago..
Knock on wood....

well, besides the cichlids I put in there for them to eat..lol

My large female has eaten,

10" delheizi
14" flagtail
6 6/7 red hooks
4 6/7 silver dollars
2 5" ntt's
2 7" indos
These have been compleatly devoured by my 20" female motoro over the last 3 years so now the only thing in with her are 3 indos 2x10" 1x14"
 
My rays have taken out not one but two Merodontotus tigrinus, both tig's were bigger than the rays and other tankmates but for some reason the rays thought they would be tasty. lol
 
My rays have been peaceful with all tank mates regardless of the size...Though my smallest fish is my 7" red hooks..
 
i find they dont eat them they just kill them and suck out the eyes
 
I haven't lost any fish to my rays. I have a male and female both about 10 inches across their discs. I have (3) 12 inch tinfoil barbs, (1) 16 inch Florida gar, and (1) 23 inch clown knife in with them and everything is peaceful. I feed all the fish with a section of PVC pipe to ensure they all get enough food and there is no aggression not even will feeding.
