A couple of months or so ago I brought four WC hystrix (2 pairs) from Aquaman, cracking little Rays all around 5-6" disc. All were fairly skinny from transport but were feeding well on dendrobena worms. I fed them twice a day on worms exclusively for several weeks fattening them up, Aquaman advised on how to marinade worms with pellets. In a nut shell I didn't get on well with the marinating (more like a lack of patience and perseverance). One male soon took carnivore pellets out of the blue and to this day is the only one which eats pellets (now eagerly eats massivore and as a result has grown rapidly in comparison). The massivore male also eats prawn, along with a keen female. The odd thing is I have another male ( refer to him as Male 2) who took to prawn early on and was always the greedier of the bunch with worms.
Confusing issues I have is that Male 2 has gone off prawn, mouths at them and chews but barely feeds, at all.
male 2 was always greedy but for weeks won't hardly touch prawn - never entertained pellet or cockle or mussel.
I have a second female who won't eat anything apart from worms, never touched anything else.
I stopped feeding/offering worms couple weeks or more ago, hoped that pure hunger would get this fussy pair feeding on what's on offer but alas
Water parMs are very good and constant as I do HMA WC every day practically
