Motoro ray not eating

What size of tank is he in? What are the perameters? Tankmates?Do you have any pictures of the ray?
A pic would help. Wot sort of size is the ray was his tail thin when you got him. Motoros are normally good eater's. Try raw prawns chop down to about the size of his mouth and drop 3 or 4 bits in front of him. Good luck.
No luck he only goes for ghost shrimp but I'm trying to get him of that prawns are shrimps right? Not sure if I hAve them at are local stores
Can't tell by picture how big he is. But he looks like pup size. I would get him in a bare bottom tank by himself. Feed live blackworms with lights off. Once he starts to take those, cut up earthworms real small and mix with blackworms. Fatten him up with those and slowly wean to shrimp and silversides. Good Luck.
keep his lights off will help with stress levels.
make sure nitrates don't get to high if he's in a smaller holding tank.
hes to skinny and young to try weaning off food, feed him whatever he will take until he fattens up
*I've killed a skinny ray trying to get him off live worms

Come to find out my ray is wild caught so it's going be hard to break to regular food huh ?
I didn't think your seller told you the truth to start with when you mentioned they said it was captive bred a few weeks ago.
It will be harder to break it yes but far from impossible.
Again mate, keep the lights off all the time.
Have you treated it for internal parasites? You really need to do that
