What Plants And Animals Live In The Benthic Zone

Freshwater stingrays are benthic (bottom-dwelling) carnivores that hunt by using electroreceptors to detect hidden prey, such as crustaceans, mollusks, and small fish. They pin food against the substrate with their bodies—a "tenting" behavior—and use powerful, crushing jaws on their underside to eat, often acting as vacuum cleaners on the sandy floor. #aquariumhobby #fish #animals | Hendrix backyard TV
