Stingray is a murderer

[titustitus]

Hey guys, i realised my teacup ray only kills the glass shrimps in the tank and doesnt eat it, leaving them lying dead on the ground. Why is this so? And i found a jelly-like and jelly bean looking thing in my tank while changing water, it kinda looks like an egg sac. it should belong to my ray cos ray dont lay eggs. the tank is only shared by the glass shrimps and some little fishies. what could that thing be? would post picture up tmr! oh and my ray doesnt eat blood worms nor earthworms

Ghost shrimp are probably too big for your ray to swallow. Probably tried to eat it but couldnt get the whole thing down and had to spit it out.

The "egg sack" is probably from snails or one of the fish I guess.

a ray that doesnt like earthworms? rough

 

[Just Toby]

Does it actually eat anything, with those refusals then I doubt it?

It does eat like 1 out of 5 kills that it makes, and it might be that some glass shrimps are to big like what Gshock said but when I cut them into smaller pieces,it wouldnt bother about it. So below is the picture of the "egg sac" that i mentioned and also pictures of my teacup ray. Does it look fed and healthy? Please give ur opinions and advice thanks!

well there is no such thing as a "tea cup" ray. you have a motoro ray, looks healthy cut up some earth worms

haha! yea teacup is just to describe it in its juvenile stage i suppose? but dang i cant wait for the barb to grow back! and i still really dunno what the jelly sac is, it looks humorous.. oh and it doesnt eat earthworms! it will swim away from it! same goes for bloodworms.
