Both rays are skinny and showing hip bones and a big dent in the forehead of the motoro along with it's skinny tail. Showing signs of malnutrition which could be due to a number of factors. Better get on top of it before it's too late. Try feeding some earthworms or dew worms if they are available. Retics are said to be hard to raise and will probably need black worms to start out.

Question is what do you think is allot? Do you ever feed so much that you have to remove un-eaten food from the tank? How much do you actually feed?

i feed the moto shrimp from the store, he eats a ton i dont have any idea why he would be thin

Feed rays twice a day. They're hip bones shouldnt be showing snd a healthy rsy will deposit fat st the base of the tail. Feed them til they won't est anymore. My old rays would eat a dozen jumbo shrimp a day
