    Hope everyone is well and healthy.
    Been a while since I posted updates on my ray tank.
    Baby ray truffle is growing well, eating like a pig and spending tones of time riding bigger ray crumpet. Got 4 7cm bala sharks to help clean up tank, witch has worked Out well Despite one disappearing (definitely got eaten). Did not feed the rays as I had loadshedding, so crumpet fed herself I guess 6F942B75-600A-4F5C-BBBC-82E9F49C7908.jpegEAAB2E70-AB0F-4C3D-9118-3618FBCC8508.jpeg9E84E05B-1A14-4ED3-8AE8-3D93179442F0.jpeg
    Think I will get a few more bala sharks, as the 3 remaining ones are growing nicely and not giving rays any issues. thanks for looking

    thanks @MariaS
    wife has just told me that i am now down to 2. crumpet seems to have a new favorite meal. think i need to find a few larger ones or start with a bigger school next time.
    i am very intrested to work out how she keeps catching them, seems impossible, the bala sharks are so quick

    Most likely she goes up glass and waits for them to swim past behind her, then throws herself back and pins them against the glass.... :)

    that makes sense

    in my mind i still do not see the stingrays as active hunters, clearly crumpet is hiding some ninja skills lol
