Upside-down Pancake

[Big Daves Rays]

your water level must be pretty dang high if he is chilling on the lid of your tank.

nic had one that did front-bottom-back-top loops...but it is breathing heavy i would keep an eye on it

yea and the last big marble did the same all the time... my water is always perfect used to pet the top of her and tickle her belly.... keep a eye on it.. but having had a few rays that do this i chalk it up to them being a little weird

Do you have a heater in the tank? I agree that she is using it for warmth..

just some question, was the ray jus floating upside down or the ray is holding the wall upside down??

 

[Kamisan]

Below are some possibilities;

1. The tank light is too bright for the ray. "Walking on the ceiling" is the only way for the ray to avoid the bright light.
2. Feel warmer when it stay closer to the light.

My orbignyi and my yepezi's do this everyday. They are just searching for food in the tank and playing. Just think of it like this........They are extremely happy to be in a nice home!!!!!!!

Are there any bigger rays in the tank?

Not at all. We actually just got done graduating Leland (our biggest, and the only ray bigger than her) to the 360-gallon. We actually transported her to the 360 last night as well. So, I think we'll just see how things go in there. She still continutes to trace the sides of tank with her disc flapping above the water line, ha. But she did that in the other tank as well. I have no idea what she is doing... lol.

Love how the light transfers through its spiracles....

Haha, I liked that, too.

looks like its breathing heavy in the vid if the water is cool is another ray botherin it.sometimers when my big ray picks on others the stick to the wall of the pond for a while

You know, that's the weird thing. All of our rays get along great. She doesn't really have anything to hide from. I don't know how worried I should really be. She just did it three times within about half an hour for about 30 seconds each time..?

You are the best.

We do have a heater in there that could handle that tank and more. It stays at a stable 81-82 degrees.

She was holding on to the wall upside down, ha.

Below are some possibilities;

1. The tank light is too bright for the ray. "Walking on the ceiling" is the only way for the ray to avoid the bright light.
2. Feel warmer when it stay closer to the light.

Those are definitely some possibilities. We're gonna have to see how she does in the 360. Any time we're not watching the rays, we always keep the lights off. They're never on for very long. Who knows...
