Thanks Meredith, my friend's motoro was like that in that he would follow
your movements very closely; rays are always on the lookout for food; their
personality is part of what makes them interesting for me; Thanks for your
insight and story, when I stumbled across GSAS I figured it'd be stocked
with great people willing to help, and I was right, thanks again, Jeff.

In Ohio Stingrays were the in-thing

in Columbus: Aquarium Adventures they had custom built tank basically
sitting in the middle of the store on the floor. The tank was about 3 feet
high and open-topped. 

 Me and D were doing the grand tour of the store and the stingrays kept
following us around.  They were getting more and more excited, popping up to
the top of the tank, over and over.  We were getting progressively more
nervous as they peeked above the top of the tank. Finally we flagged down a
staff member, for fear the stingrays were going to make a break for it.  The
staff gal explained  that my ever-present iced mocha looked like their food
container: Pavlov's rays.
