Do you think rays can learn from each other?

Examples...

Can a ray help teach another ray that certain things can be eaten? Krill? Pellets? Etc.

Can another ray learn from another ray what location food is dispensed in the tank?

Can rays teach each other that certain areas are more dangerous than others?

Can rays teach each other how to surf your bubble wand? Or that your python isnt something dangerous?

Anybody ever notice a learning curve when introducing your new ray with your old established rays?
:popcorn:
 
My motoro used to reject to be hand feeded. Than I buy a castexi and this castexi is hand feeded without a problem. In a couple of days the motoro adjusted and hand feeded even though kinda scared at the start.

you would love to read my note books;)


YES TO ALL :)
 
there like dogs
 
Maybe.
 
100% Yes
I have found rays to be very intelligent and lean things of each other very quickly.
 
bump!
 
i think mine taught each other to eat pellets... My male ate them right off the bat and my female took a week or so. i think she saw him eat them and learned.
 
This means my Jag should be on shrimp in NO time..... IF this is indeed true. I suppose if "teacher" fish work then beings rays are much more smarter than fish they should definetly be able to teach eachother.

Will update, hopefully the thing starts eating soon.
 
How long you been waiting DB?

Maybe he already learned but is just stubborn! - lol
