I think feeding whole food animals is a good thing. The rays get all the nutrients in the food animal. There are no one cleaning shell and head of prey they catch in nature! There might not be many nutrients in shrimp shells, but there are in the head!

Some claim that shrimps have sharp spines that can harm the ray, but I have never had any problems. But be aware of uneaten shells that might clog the filter intake.

Oke thanks, I will try it, because chop the head and the skin is very annoying job

If there was an AFV for funny fish videos, that would totally win the grand prize.

DAMN!!! that's wicked!

Like having seaworld at your house! Are you not worried it will over shoot the ledge and end up on the floor?

Actually one time it did jump out of the tank while feeding. So I need to be careful. But I have been feeding like this for almost three years, so it has become a routine.
