She's still in quarantine (75 gal) but doing much better than she was when I got her. I know the reflections on the glass make it hard to see but I couldn't get any video without that much light so it is what it is.
Please don't bother replying that I'm gonna get stung - it shows a basic lack of understanding of when and why rays sting. She clearly doesn't feel threatened here, she's not getting ready to sting the hand that feeds her.
For the observant: yes, those are Emperor filters. I know you're not "supposed" to filter ray tanks with them but I think I know what I'm doing.
Finally, I decided to make this video in vague response to a recent post suggesting rays don't "beg" or come to the front of the tank when they see people. I started "teaching" this ray to climb the tank wall and take food from my fingers 3 days ago - she already would climb the wall in "excitement" or "anticipation" so it was very easy to encourage the behavior.
