who can go in with my ray?

[Eden]

I purchased a ray pup off a fellow member this past January. She is doing great and is so wonderful to watch swim!

I was just wondering if I am able to put someone in for company and to help clean up excess food she doesn't eat? I am taking the food out everyday that she doesn't consume, but it would be very helpful to have another fish that can keep it clean also.

I was thinking alone the lines of a synadontis..... but I am not sure.

Before I introduce another fish I would love to have some expert BCA advice.

Thanks!!!

small geo. will go through the left over. 1-2 clown loaches will do the trick. Careful adding more fish as they might consume food too fast and leave your ray without food.

The problem is you can't put too small of a fish in there otherwise your ray might attack it. And you don't want to put anything with size in there otherwise it might eat too much too fast, or worse, it might attack your ray.

I have geo's but they are around 5 inches..... I don't like clowns because everytime I have had one they are iche magnic's.... Thank you for your advice Charles.

Should I use one of my own or get a smaller geo?

I would use smaller one.
