Looking for species that would fit in a 100G tank. I know Motoro leopoldi gets too big as I have them in a pond right now:) looking for one in my 100G to take the place of my Ghost knife that died

I was looking at teacup rays for my 150, but decided against one because I figured the cichlids would beat it up. They told me it would be alright in a more community setup though. They don't get nearly as big as the regular sized ones.

I'm pretty sure the teacup rays are the smallest type, so if they're too big you're probably going to have to look at other options.

Thats like 27 inches...probably a little big for a 100gal.

For a smaller tank, you're probably out of luck for rays, they take up a lot of space.

i heard teacup stingrays were the smallest type, if not i would still house it in something bigger than 100G
