    So far no issues, The Severums keep to themselves. Although they both males theres not much issues. I always keep a close eye on that tank espeacially with the Flagtails as I heard they also sometimes suck the slime coat of the Ray's but luckily no issues there as well. I guess only time will tell.

    I have been very tempted by Flagtails but have also heard one can have issues with them pecking at the skin of other fish. So have not taken the chance.

    Nice @Ravs
    We have never had a problem with severums either
    Flagtails... you hey the odd one thats a pain but those that are ok are a stunning addition and worth the try

    Curious to know how big the tank is? And how long you can keep the rays in there before upgrading if needed?
