May look like a lot now, but wait till you put 2 turkey basters full of blackworms in each ray and it doesn't even put a dent in their stomach.:eek:
 
What is the price of black worms in yalls area? Around here the only place that sells them its $3.59 for .75oz. Seems kind of pricey to me and I couldnt imagine feeding a ray soley on them! Luckily all of my rays started eating MP within the first week or two!

$1 an ounce.
 
If you're handy, you could always make your own blackworm keeper.....All you need is appropriately sized tupperwear that will fit within one another, silicone, brine shrimp nets or equivalent and a knife or scissor. I used to use the shoebox size tupperwear for ease of transport in and out of the fridge. Cut holes in the bottom of one of them, making sure to leave some spans for support. Then take the filter media bags or brine shrimp nets and silicone them in place over the openings.
 
umm i was exstatic about getting rays when i move now i dont want them :( thanks guys :D
is there anything else you can feed them besides blackworms and freaking ghost shrimp? the blackworms though if you buy in bulk are cheap compared to all the outher food listed.
 
Why dont you want them?

You dont feed them black worms and ghost shrimp all the time, i only fed ghost shrimp once. and i thing blackworms are waist atleast for a ray that is willing to eat earthworms, shrmp, krill and feeder.s but for a new ray yes its worth it,



UPDATE on the new rays, they are held back one more week because the plane they were on had problems so they had to unload the plane, so one more week now! but the bright side of it is, thats one more week in QT :D

The live foods are usually used to get them going...Then you can switch to the cheaper stuff.
 
Try live crayfish.

There is a guy in Wisconsin that will sell you 40 lbs. of live bait crays for less than $2.00 per pound. There are more than 15 crays per pound. Do the math = a lot of flippin' crayfish.

You may be close enough to pickup and avoid the shipping charges (they are just as much as the crayfish themselves).

Rays love live crayfish.
