Dats eating Ray Poop?

[mshill90]

What are the chances of Datnoids eating Ray poop?

I have 2 Motoros (M/F)- and I never see any poop from them.

The male is WC, and the female came from a friend. I have witnessed them pooping, and since I added datnoids- there is never any ray poop.

There are 5 Dats at 5" each.

Only 1 of my dats seems to have an appetite, and all are super plump. So, I am leaning towards they are eating it...

Yes, assuming.

I have not seen any ray poop in my tank since I added the dats.

Before I added the dats, I scooped it out everyday.

i have 3 indo's and never once have i seen or even herd of them eating poo. Mine eat everything else from live - pellets, have you added a larger filter or more jet packs? is it possible that the dats are moving the poo around the tank so it gets sucked up. just ideas.

The ray poop comes out in a lump that is soft if the ray swims over the poop or moves it the it will will brake up into a cloud and you filter should pick it up if they are good enought

Tigers will not eat ray poop the only fish I have seen eat ray poop are tin foils which is why I have a shoal of 10

Well my filtration is as follows:

2 AC110, Eheim Pro II, and 3 large sponge filters.

There is a lot of water movement, so that could be it.

My asian red aro eats ray poop! I have caught him many times. I too would usually wake up and suction out the poop every morning but since i added the aro there is lil to no poop. Some poop does get brokjen up and sucked up by the filters. But there were always tight spirals before and now there are none.
