Re: curious???????
Id be worried that your fahaka might think of the eye as a snail

Re: curious???????
This really sounds like a recipe for disaster IMO
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Re: curious???????
As noted above: the eyes tend to be interpreted as food by other predatory fishes hunting on the sediment surface. I don't know if it could sting the puffer... maybe. One reference I have noted it to be venomous.

Re: curious???????
IMHO, neither rays nor fahakas belong in tanks with other fish. And for either specimen, the cost of the fish is completely trivial in relation to the cost of the setup and upkeep.
Just what size tank were planning to use?
