My ray is not learning from his aro tank mates. He does not eat pellets. He does not eat crickets. I have never seen him eat feeders either. He accepts shelled prawn only. Though last time i saw him trying to eat a frog (unsuccessfully) ... basically just sucked out all the guts then chewed on the frog then spit it out
Do you think rays can learn from each other?

its really funny to watch.... i got 2 small ones for free figured to like the asians and feed to my aros... aros bit one killed it then ray ate it... threw the other in and the ray went insane chasing it around the tank for like 5 min... wish i had a video
I'm thinking that rays definetly teach other rays......
I added a captive pup to my w/c in isolation. Day 3 she's began eating shrimp.
Jag looks to be taking shrimp and smelt.
Worked a lot better than starving in isolation. That failed for months.

I have a female that will come to the surface in the same corner of the pond to get fed. She breaks the surface and spits water. If ignored she will just sit right below the surface till she gets fed.
Have a fresh WC male that has figured out how to hoard food. When a handfull of cut shrimp is tossed into the pond he will quickly go to where it's falling, pounce on it and basically catch pieces on the front portion of his disk. He holds this up in the water off the bottom of the pond so the other rays can't get it, then eats it piece by piece after finishing the pounced on pieces. After bullying the other rays they seem to stay cllear of him more and more at feeding times.

as it so happen i do have a video of him eating the frog (i put in frogs for aros to eat, but obviously one made it down to ray)... unsuccesfully
i was a bit surprised since i saw your ray munching all kinds of tankmates ... he got as far as hips. then i removed the frog because of water concern
Trying to upload to youtube ... having some difficulties for some reason
