it all depends on how many rays u are going to keep ...... more rays bigger space..... normally 5 feet by 2.5/3 feet to keep rays is a minimum reqiurement as rays will eventually become big at least 17 inches in 3 years time .... for a 5 feet tank .... 4 rays max... 6 feet tank ....6 rays may be.....

3feet will be sufficient when the motoros are small..... when it grows up to 17 inches....enough? 17 inches X 2 = 34 inches... temporary yes.... future no

Thanks for the advice! currently have a 5.5'' motoro in my tank now. will it stunt their growth or they'll just continue growing? and also is it normal for them to be stoning covered by gravel the whole day? im abit scared my water parameter isnt good. i've tested it ph is at 7.0 and 0 ammonia.

They will just continue to grow ... no problem... yes rays like to play sand ... ph and ammonia is good for your tank.... what about nitrate?

it is okie as long as your ray is bigger than the RTC..... but when your rays mate and have pups better to remove the RTC
