I want to do an Amazonian Paludarium
(240*750 cm) in the future,

with Yellow Anaconda (Eunectes notaeus)
and a few Stingray (Potamotrygon leopoldi)
(And other small fishes but those are of no concern.)

I don't plan on keeping too many fishes in there so I am not concerned about the bioload,

What I am afraid of is that the Ray might get spooked and stab the Anaconda,
Though I have seen public Aquarium thrat has the Rays with Greens,
So I am hoping there are some method that may help to reduce the risks,

Anyone has experiences putting Rays in with other large animals ?

Do you have any experience with large constrictors? Even a newborn Yellow Anaconda will be likely 30 or more inches in length, probably 1.5 inches in diameter before a meal. It will poop in the water, guaranteed, and that poop will be massive and very smelly. An immediate 100% water change is pretty much mandatory. If the snake poops in the morning after you leave for work, in the relatively small water volume of even a fairly large paludarium, I would be amazed if any fish would remain alive by the end of the day.

Yes, I kept and bred big constrictors for many years.
