Monster Fish Tankmates
Monster Fish Tank Mates & Swimming Behavior Guide
Setting up a tank for monster fish? Hereโs what you need to know about tank mates and swimming behaviors for a balanced, thriving environment.
Swimming Zones
Benthic (Bottom Dwellers): Bichirs and freshwater stingrays love staying low, combing through sand or gravel.
Pelagic (Mid/Upper Swimmers): Arowanas and Siamese tiger fish rule the mid and top sections, needing open space to roam.
Popular Combos for the Advanced Aquarist Consider pairing Arowanas, freshwater stingrays, bichirs, and Siamese tiger fish for a dynamic tankโbut make sure thereโs plenty of room and hiding spots! Each fish has specific needs, so theyโll need ample swimming space to feel secure.
Filtration & Water Quality Monster fish produce a massive bio-load, so a high-capacity filtration system is a must. Adding coral chips or oyster shells can help stabilize your tankโs pH and prevent crashes, keeping your fish happy and healthy.

Freshwater Stingray Care Tips - Part 3 Long-Term Solutions for Maintaining Proper Water QualityEnsuring your freshwater stingray thrives means focusing on stable, high-quality water conditions over the long term. Letโs break down the 3 key components that will help you maintain a healthy environment for your stingray! ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฅ Component 1: Avoid Overstocking ๐ฅOne of the most important things to remember is not to overstock your tank. Overcrowding increases the bioload and can lead to water quality issues.๐ Not sure how many fish your tank can handle? Head down to any of our stores, and weโll recommend the right amount and size of livestock for your setup.๐ก Pro Tip: Send us a video of your current tank and, if possible, bring a water sample to our store for testing. Weโll help you ensure everything is balanced! ๐งช๐ฑ๐ฅ Component 2: Filtration & pH Stability ๐ฅYour filtration system needs to be strong enough to cope with the high bioload that stingrays produce. This includes:๐น Bio Media: A home for beneficial bacteria that break down harmful toxins like ammonia and nitrites.๐น pH Buffering Agents: Coral chips and oyster shells help stabilize pH. A pH crash can stress your stingray and even lead to death, so keeping it consistent is crucial! ๐โ๏ธ๐ฅ Component 3: Regular Water Changes ๐ฅRegular water changes should be performed to reduce nitrate buildup, which can harm stingrays over time.๐ฟ This process also replenishes essential minerals from tap water, promoting overall health and water quality. Aim for weekly water changes of about 20-30% to keep things stable! #aquarium #aquariumhobby #thataquarium #loveforpets #fish #singapore #plantedtank #stingray #monsterfishkeepers
