Cortez Stingray

[meowzer]

I have a cortez stingray, and within the last few days I can not find my coral banded shrimp, or any of my peppermint shrimp...I also have a lot of empty snail shells.
I feed the ray every day....is it possible that the ray is eating these things????
And if so, will it start eating my fish too????

Yes it is possible... in fact it is very likely that your ray ate your shrimp. This is a very common food for them to eat naturally. Your fish should be safe if they are too large for the ray to swallow. If they are small, then hopefully your fish are quicker swimmers.

What about the snails??? Do you think it could be eating them too?

It's possible but I doubt it. I have a ray with snails and mine doesn't bother them.

I used to have a california stingray and he loved cleaner shrimp for breakfast lunch and dinner... And he also on the occasion would crack the back end of a snail shell open.
