well i havent had a tank in years! I have a 120 oceanic on order and i'm planning on setting it up with some stingrays. Not sure what all to put with it. i know i will have at least 2 rays. One motoro and one polkadot. i also plan to have a black ghost knife. Not sure what else to pu with it. the rays will hang down low, and the ghost knife wont be very active in the day. i was thinking about tin foil barbs (although i would like something a bit more colorful, these are a pretty cool fish). i've read that you want to keep them in a small school of 5 or more. wondering if thats too much for my 120 gal. ANY ADVICE SUGGESTIONS ETC...... i'd love to hear what you think.

How about an Arowana. I know that if you have Arowana, Stingrays are one of the best tankmates

Arowanas are a bad idea for tanks less than 200 gallons in size. Even then, 200 gallons is seriously pushing it, even for some of the smaller arowana species.

Perhaps some mid/top level swimmers that will be too large for the sting ray to eat? I have no experience with stingrays, so I can't comment.
