I didn't want to highjack the other thread.
I had a ray I fed 2 times a day. which was messy and the reason for frequent water changes.
I fed squid, octopus, mysis shrimp some feeder fish. I was lucky all my fish would eat frozen food. I probably spent.. (its been 2 years)
$50 in food/month when my fish were adults
I had pc lights. I don't know what size your tank is or where you live or what seasons you have. But my summer bill was 100 no tank, roughly 150-175 with tank. It went up 50-100 bucks depending on the season, and all the upgrades that I added

For the record.. I had a 180. I moved 3 times and gave the fish to my neighbor who has a 400. Happy fish! I had it for 2 years but I have not set it up in 2 years. At the time I got rid of it I had
P. puffer
Black V lion
Dragon Wrasse
Blue tang
Copper banded butterfly
When I had my Blue spotted ray, these all became lunch when I was on vaction for a week.

clownfish
super small blue tang
bangii cardinals
green chromis
other questions just ask!
Many of the people here can help you answer those questions too!! So I made a thread out of it.

Never kept an angel or eel.
I got the ray on a fluke, and already had the other fish, with the intentions of getting rid of them. When I got the ray, it minded its own business and the fish didn't pick on him.
I went out of town for on a family vacation to hawaii. We were gone almost 2 weeks. I had someone come over once a day to feed the ray. Apparently that was not enough. lol
If I could, I would get the biggest tank that I could afford. lol

I thought I could keep 2 angels together but it is not working out. I had a Blueface in for a month or 2 and then added an Asfur, aka Arabian Angel.
The asfur is agressive as hell. I had to take the blueface to my brothers tank and is now doing well. The Asfur does not bother the flame at all.
I prefer the look and temperment of Angel fish.

u should have tried to acclimate them together and place them in the tank at the same time as well as same in size.

I have a 90g with about 100lbs of LR. I really, really like Angel fish. I currently have 2 clowns, Yellow Tang, Flame Angel, and Asfur Angel.
First, is this type of fish only load high or low for this size tank?
Second, What other Angel might I be able to add and would it be best to put 2 in at at the same time to deflect some of the Asfurs energy?
The tank has been up and running for about 8 months now. Water quality is perfect. I have a good mixture of cleaning crew as well.

Yes that is my pix.
Sorry fallensynner I was working that last few days. I tried to pm you all this info, but you have your setting so that I could not do that. lol
I never kept an eel with my ray. Blue spotted rays are one of those fish that are listed "expert". I am not 100% sure why. I did not have any problem with mine. He ate like a champ. It was getting him to leave food for the other fish that was the problem. I didn't want to stress my ray so I did not keep any aggressive fish.
