just wondering guys, what tankmates do you keep with your different rays?
had tea-cups most recently and kept a few of them together but no other fish. Doesnt have to be with tea cup rays, they've gone now, but just playing with ideas in my head for a change of fish. Cheers
 
I keep the following fish with my rays
Arows (blue & RTG), Dats, Spotted Gar, cichla, Goslinea platynema, Hemisorubim Platyrhynchos, Megalodoras uranoscopus, Cephalosilurus apurensis, Pseudodoras niger, Ageneiosus polystictus, clown loach & a Tetraodon palembangensis.
 
:help2: Aquarium Size is only 151 L x 62 H x 51 W cm about 60" x 24" x 22". What do you suggest, bigger tank or can move into bigger tank when ready? or simply ok :help2:
 
When young don't keep them with other aggressive fish. When mature only fish that are big enough to not get eaten by them. Avoid large black sharks..............I have a black shark that is 24 inches that can take out a ray in just a few weeks. He gets on top of them and chews into their back. Once a large wound is opened all fish in the tank will attack the ray.

If you go to the article section you can see the list of fish in my 15k and I have the one ray in the tank.
 
im not good with proper names but i have a tea cup about 8inches now with 5 bala shark 3 incandescent shark and 0ne dragon fish,, also some ghost shrimp apple snail..they all live in a 130 gal tank,,happy or so they tell me', only problem is feeding sharks are quick so i feed ray and dragon by hand make sure they eat..
