Swimming with the Rays

[Deano1956]

My eight year old grandson has been begging me for months to get in with the rays and feed them so i finally gave in to him and put him in the shower to srub down (soapless) and rinsed all the fabric softener out of a pair of shorts and put him in. It was really different than I expected, the rays came right up to his feet and i assume sniffed them and ate from his hand and really seemed like they liked him being there allthough they didnt tell me that for sure. Well anyway he got cold within 5 minutes so he didnt wear out his welcome.

Awesome interaction!!! I can't wait to get my little one in the water with some.

Oh, no need for extra burgers. That's how I was at that age!

what kind of info do you want? Pool is 9' round inside and has 22" of water and so around 860 gallons, pieced together 5 1/2' skimmer with Panworld 1750 GPH pump running a 1" Mazzei injector, Dolphin 4200 gph return pump with a 75 gallon sump which will be replaced soon with a 300 gallon stock tank sump and thats about all.

we (grandma and papa) try to get him to eat more but he is so pickey like my daughter. He loves steak and seafood btw. All in all he's healthy and some day like his papa he will have a hard time keeping cheeseburgers away. Oh just bought 2 6" yellow striped grunts and are being acclimated as I type. 54.00 for 2 at a not so LFS
