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.
I have had great success using a plastic laundry hamper with holes in it. Works like a giant collander but protects me from them if they startle. -FM
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.
