Sting Rays And Tiles Aquarium

[bonesb66]

Tiled my tank with 13" tiles, just cut to size and pushed them together, no silicone just pressed in place - it held for some time but look what the rays decided to do with them.

Perhaps i'll just have to give them sand..

Wow thats interesting that they pulled them up. I really would have never guessed that they would do that.

i'm genuinely surprised - to be honest, i wish i'd saw it so i could at least comprehend how they actually do it.

It made me wonder whether it's a male hassling a large female causing her to crash around in which case perhaps her flapping across could make one bounce loose, leaving the others to slip free.

God knows though - i just can't fathom it
