Rays and Sharks

[SaltwaterTank]

If you had a 300 gallon tank, how many sharks and rays would be appropriate to have in there. I was thinking about bamboo and bluspot rays.

[triggerfreak]

I would say only 1 ray and maybe 3 or 4 bamboo sharks.But i have not kept any in a long time.Maybe someone that keeps them will chime in amd help you also.

seeing your other thread, if this is your first tank, i would not recommend starting with these type of fish, they can be very delicate and difficult to keep, especially for a beginner.

I had 1 bamboo, 1 cali ray, and 1 smoothound in my tank.

After a year and a half or so, it really isn't enough for them.

edit: this was in a 300 gallon

This is not my First tank i have had reefs and FO for years (6). I was just trying to see what everyone would have to say.
Thanks

in that case i'd say go for it. just take it slow and quarantine all of the fish before adding =]

You plan on having any LR in the DT? and what are the dimensions?

I wouldn't go with any more then 2 rays and 2 sharks in the tank unless you are keeping all your LR in the sump. I have a shark and a blue spot in my reef, and they seem to be doing well.

I'd double check with Amazon Stingrays. Rays are their middle names over there & they can give you good, sound advice.

Just remember to consider the adult size of these animals before adding them to your tank. Also, their waste can be their worst enimies, as well as the mess they leave when eating so make sure you filtration and protien skimmer ar for the task.
