Default 'Comm'ing big rays and small rays

AF!

All the ray experts!

Do you think it is alright to comm 11'' Ray with 4-5'' ray?

i have a 10" with a 5" just need to monitor for a while. but what works for me might not work for you. different rays and different attitudes. one way to find out.

Ya, thanks.

I think the only way is to try and error. Thats what i wanted to hear from you bro haha.. at least someone has successfully done it. means it not impossible!

if ur pups are eating well, then its Ok to try, but if pups dun eat very well, then better to grow them separately for the next few weeks before putting them together...

good points make sure after feeding they both have the big back humps. i feed the bigger one on one side and hurry and put more food on the other. he will usually steal a too big peice from her before going to his side. also pipe feeding or tong feeding will work.

From my experience...... same breed of rays the tendency of killing smaller rays of the same breed is much lesser.... but however if the rays are not of the same breed .... the killings is higher...

For example.... Black rays can stand black rays but not SP or brown rays...

I have one example.... pearl ray 5 inches put inside black rays comm ... the black rays will keep biting him .... eventually die from stress... but leo and BD regardless of size when put together does not seem to have this problem but still have to monitor .... just my 2 cents worth opinion
