Better nit. Rays can be extremely susceptible to shock. The Pnt may decide to give the rays a friendly bite and you can prepare to say bye bye to your rays. I tried and lost 2 rays on 2 separate attempts.

No sure if the gender of the turtle play a part in the aggression against other tank occupants.

PNT are canivores so better dun. Will nip your rays as they are not fast swimmers. Kelahs better choice with PNT.

All my PNTs, including 1 which I'm housing for a friend, have no problem with any fish at all.

What I notice is they only attack stressed out or sick/weak fishes. Other than that, no problem at all.

gregsng:
PNTs are omnivores and their diet should contain mainly of plant matters.

My PNT bites the fishes in the tank very frequently. So better not. But ultimately depends on your PNT itself.

Mine even attempts to bite my 1.5feet arowana.
