Corpophagia?!?

[JD7.62]

I was just watching my stingray happily slide up and down the glass as he was taking a big ****. Anyway on his slide back down his **** when up towards his mouth and he started to eat it!?! I guess you guys know how ray poop is easily dissolves in water well as he was eating it the dissolved poop would come out his gills!

Has any one else noticed their ray doing this and could this lead to health problems?!

I know it sounds funny but Im serious! I just added him to my big tank and there is a 15" B. Jurense in there that has huge turds and I dont want my ray munching on those either!

Dont worry rays taste anything then spit it out..if it doesnt taste to good ..

Why should rays be different from other animals. I work for several devout coprovores.

I've seen mine suck in spirals on occasion, but they always shoot it out their spiracles immediately afterwards. But hey, if you can manage to squeeze a few extra nutrients out of it the second time around, I don't see any reason not to eat your own feces
