No not like that, it has to small of holes. I use this one with my rays fine.

I have moved alot of rays in one of those, even a couple 2ft rays, without any of them getting stuck.
 
I see the benefit of the big holes. I took my 12 inchers out with a rubbermaid bin, went smooth as i would never belive. They got a little scared, went under the sand, and i just slipped the bin under them, no splashing no nothing. But a 19 incher is a different story, hehe..Not looking forward til its my time.
 
Best $60 ever spent, lol got wicked wet as she put up a good fight once she was at head level. Poor thing was in a 200g that was maybe only 4 inches wider then her. Currently she is in the 475g stingray pond at the LFS I work at part time till I can finish building my 700g plywood tank. Tried feeding her nightcrawlers 3 hours after putting her in pond and the smaller 9" male snatched them all from my fingers. Maybe she will eat tomorrow.
 
Sorry no pictures as the girlfriend had the camera at the lake for the long weekend. Good news though as she ate 6 nightcrawlers, 4 shrimp and 1 smelt and even watched her take a massive dump an hour later so everything seems cool and she has even colored up. Only thing to worry about now is plumping her up as I can see her pelvic bones.
