My bala sharks and barbs love curlers. I even have rays that love eating them. To the point where it's always gone within 10 minutes of them dropping a deuce.

My African aro and mahseers eat fish poo too. never Ray poo because they are in a different tank in a different state but I'm sure they would eat Ray poo too as it's so rich.

I know it's strange but I have had 3 different types of barb

Gold/albino
Normal
And the twin black bar tail ones

The gold and normal never When near the poo ever and I had 5 of each they just attacked food hard making it hard to get past them at feeding time

I believe the gold and normal would be Barbonymus schwanefeldii and the "twin black bar tail ones" Barbonymus altus.
The altus would be the (only) ones prone to eat poo

I just got back from petsmart where I picked up 4 Bala Sharks. You should have seen the look on the guys face when I asked if he knew whether they ate stingray poo...lol
