feeding stingrays with sand bottom!!!

im wondering if it might be bad idea if feeding stingrays with Massivorce sinking pellets when they're in the tank with SAND.....i know they can filter out but there still some sand that will be taking in together with pellets (plus they always make a mess when feed with pellet --from chewing)...im thinking of adding sand to my bare bottom for the rays to play but afraid since im feeding with pellets. hope anyone can give me some advise.

Rays are 10"-16", keep for about 1 year already . thanks

It's alright IMO to feed rays with pellets, with sand on the bottom.

I think its not a prob bro. Thats how it is in their natural habitat

It's ok to give it a try, if you see ray abnormal behavior remove sand and back to normal

Rays should be able to feed on sand bottoms with the food on the sand... in the wild they are train to do so i think...

rays live on sandy banks, shd be alright for them.

i like white/light coloured sand... it gives a better contrast to the dark tank and when the lights are off, the white sand makes it easier to see the rays in the dark too
