do hystrix rays eat plants? I know that they eat worms ect but i want a ray, but i dont want it to hibble on my sword plants ect
 
my motoros and otorongo do ;)
 
i have never heard of rays eating plants
They will constantly sift through the sand and up root your plants and basically destroy the plants so..if your worried about your plants a ray won't work

I like my ray tank with no decor it is easier and creates more space for the ray
 
I have read that rays will snack on plants, and even eat them in the wild..

In a book it is also suggested to offer them squash, zuccini, and green beans as well?

The 'ray people' in Germany, make their own gelatin cubes to feed rays, which consist of alot of veggies..

but yes, Rays will screw up your planted tank.
 
my hystrix used to chomp on my java ferns but he never ate them


they got ruined though so i guess its a big not worth it type situation
