R-3 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 How big is the tank? How long have you had him exactly? I know these are on the smaller end of rays but they still need a good bit of room as they can get as big as 20" from what I have heard.

reefcam Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Aside from what Ryan said.. sting rays are not big on fish trying to clean them. I have 2 freshwater sting rays and they do like being pet, but do not like it when any fish is near them. Unless they are edible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumby Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I would agree of getting rid of the Blenny. I had one that thought he ruled the tank and would always pick on the other fish. I never knew they could be so mean. They are like a puppy. They are cute when you first get them and then they grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
