i have 3 rays, and 1(female) of them would basically swallow evertything very fast. while the other 2 takes muh longer to eat. it gets so bad that the fast eater will finish everything that i put in and the slow eater is still on the first piece of smelt, he would keep chewing and spitting out and chew and spitting out continuously. anyone else observe that strange behavior in your rays?
 
Both my females eat faster than my male. I either put enough so all eat or if they
appear to be hogging all the food I will wait till they are at the different end and drop
some to him.
If I put excess usually the females will eat until ready to pop then my male
will get all the extra, but he is learning to keep up.:)
