i know some fish,actually a lot of fish eat their young. does anyone know if sting rays eat their young. so will the babies be fine to grow up wiht 10 other adults
 
sometime adults do bite the young, I would remove any babies out of the tank for two reasons...
1. In case the adults do bite and kill the young, has happened before
2. the adults would out compete any of the pups for food
