Can`t Break My Rays, tips(?)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So. 1 week has gone, the last one is still not taking shrimp, but is very healthy, acts normal, searches in the sand all the time.. Should i give in? I belive ive never bin closer.. 4 of them is now eating shrimp like they have never eaten anything else.
 
If you want to give him a break you can feed shrimp first. Then when the others are full you come back with something he'll eat for a few days then get back to switching him. I've done this when breaking my rays and the rays that are happy with shrimp don't stop eating the shrimp just because something else might come along later.
 
So here i am again, things went as i wanted them to do, buuuut, a big but.. 4 out of 5 rays are very very on the shrimp, they eat like 12 shrimps a day, and getting bulby, also my discus which i put up 2 weeks ago eats shrimp like hell. BUT this 1 guy, he only eats red moscito larvae and earth worms. What can trigger if 4 rays and 8 discus cant? Im about to give up on him, dunno what to do. Tryd putting earth worms and shrimps in a box overnight the last days, but nono..Its just not intresting, can something be wrong with him since he dont take large food and only the smallest once?
 
i think some rays are just more picky than others. i have ALL my rays on pellets, BUT 1 hystrix will not eat them. I have had him for 2 years too.
 
I dont have the space at this time to seperate him and only feed him something else. I have them in 200gall growout since were planing house and 1000 gall tank in near future.
