Can a Stingray go in a planted tank?? Judy is setting up a 250G Discus and Rays tank but she would also like it to be planted, at least along the back anyway. The question is can a Ray go in a tank that has Eco complete or other planted substrates??

I don't know about the Rays themselves, but I can't imagine being able to keep the plants down when the rays are roaming the bottom. I have enough trouble with a pleco and cichlid tank keeping the plants down. There are certain spots that no matter what I do, the plecos and cichlids will not allow planting.

Yeah I get the difficulty of keeping the plants rooted but I was actually more concerned about the potential effect the substrate might have on the Ray. I figure since the tank is 250G that there is enough room to do both without too much hassle.
