Behavior

[Pitty27]

(I'm sorry if this is a repeat thread).

Hey guys, I know there is a ton of stuff on Google about care and details on these wonderful little floppy discs, but I would really like to hear what everyone can say about their behavior from personal experiences. I've noticed some cues my pup will give me and what is normal for her. But is it really normal? What are some things that are bad? What do they do when they're happy? When they're sick? When they're hungry? Does your ray become more vibrant than some other times? Please share your experiences!

In general terms (broad topic) for young rays here are a few of the basics:

Good
-on the glass “playful” type behaviors
-active and searching its environment
-eating well and not needing special feeding help like tongues

Bad
-burying in the substrate
-lethargic or minimal movement
-not eating well (relative to normal appetite for the specific ray/species)
