Deeg Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hi everyone Was just seeking the opinion of others about keeping flagtails with rays. I personally have never done it before and I am looking to keep a good algae eater with a ray. What does everyone think or do they have any other methods that may work? Cheers Deeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syndicate Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Depends on the fish but a flag tail can harss and kill most fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikrman Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I sold my flagtail for that reason wouldn't want a heap fish killing an expensive one when it can be avoided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael-9645 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I don't no a lot. But my mate got a ray and 3 large peacock bass in a 8foot tank and with them he got a 25-30cm flagtail in it and he had no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yeah I've heard they can be awesome one minute then after a long time just decide to suck the slime coat....not really worth the risk, I think I'll just have to stop being lazy and give the glass a clean every now and then...

mungor Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I have 2 rays and had them with a gibby and 2 flagtails. I had to get rid of one of the flagtails as he kept sucking on one of the rays. The other has been no problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard_ Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I have experience with both and it depends on the flagtail, some are grumpy, some suck rays, some are fine Good luck either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
