Heres my latest failed attempt at finding some fish that can co-exist in my aro/ray tank. The rainbow fish was smart and fast enough to last for 4 months! But alas the circle of life and the power of the food chain flexed its muscles!
My ray even seems to proudly enjoy showing me his prize catch! Reminds me of when a cat will bring you a little mouse or bird its caught saying, "Look what i can do!"
To update you all where the tankmate experiment is, the following is a list of fish that are in the tank along with how long they have been with the aro and ray....
Bumble Bee Cichlid ~ 1 week
Green Terror ~ 1 month
Giant Danio ~ 7 months (simply to fast for anybody to catch)
Sailfin Pleco ~ 6 Months (was sampled by the ray once but didnt like the way it tasted)
3 ~ 5in. Clown Loaches ~ 5 months (thank GOD for switch blade spines)
FYI the aro has never eaten any live food, so the main issue is my huntress ray!
