First few days they won't. Can you give us the dimensions of the tank, how long has the tank been set up? Also get a basic freshwater test kit, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, pH.

Like said above they usually won't eat for awhile when newly added to a tank.. Try earthworms, mine have never refused them.. Just keep trying and if it doesn't eat make sure to take out the un-eaten food.. Plus i hope you have a bigger tank, that's a super small tank for a ray..

Would love to see some pics of the ray.

Try (cut up) earthworms or troutworms if it doesn't start taking the bloodworms in a few more days.
