Hi I currently have a juvenile sting ray. He has roughly 5-6" diameter, and is housed in a 80 gallon aquarium. I know this will only last him another 4-6 months, but what im wondering is exactly how much should I feed him. Im dealing with a murky tank. When we got him he was extremely male nourished and were feeding him two cubes a day of blood worms, ghost shrimp, or krill. Im currently changing 30% of his water once a week but it only helps a bit and for 2 days at that. Any ideas?
Also I should point out that there are two angle fish in this aquarium.

You'll be lucky if he makes it 4-6 month in an 80 gal aquarium motoros grow fast and very large! I'd feed him 2-3 times a day as much as he will eat specially since you mention he's malnourished I'd stop feeding the blood worms and krill and get him on better foods like chopped up tilapia raw Shrimp and even night crawlers to fatten him up. But the big question is. Why is your water murky? How long has this tank been running? What's your filtration? I'd be doing 50% water changes every other day. If not every day.

+1 chopped earthworms but I hope you have the filtration system of the century! And properly fed and cared for you'll have a 12-13" beast eating you out of house and home in 6-8 months the murky water is prob because u just overloaded the heck out of the tank biology. They have little tolerance for ammonia but urinate straight ammonia so with that small a volume of water it's a constant struggle.......not impossible but a ton of work! My 3 marbles and retic were all raised in a 125g
