Anyone else have a ray that loves playing with rocks? We use these to keep the air tubes buried and she loves to roll them all over the tank and play with them, especially when she's getting antsy for dinner.

I use 'Kongs' now instead. These are made of rubber and designed to put dogs treats inside of them. I stuff them with prawns and pellets to give them some stimulation from time to time. They are left in the tank and they can kick them around as much as they like with out damaging anything
This is exactly the reason all my tanks apart from the pup tanks have substrate and driftwood of various sizes. These incredibly intelligent fish require stimulation as Jim just mentioned, all you ray keepers out there that keep your rays in bare glass aquariums really are missing out on so many aspects of the natural behaviour of these magnificent fish.
Zac, change those pebbles for similar size pieces of driftwood/ bogwood, the ray can then throw them all over the place to its hearts content!

Same issue I had Jim. Mine would blow under 1-.1.5 lb rocks looking for food. Started chipping the Eurobacing on my 340 bad enough the silicone has peeled off. Nothing but driftwood and substrate anymore. Will have to check into something similar to these Kongs. You have a pic?
