most new rays should take nightcrawlers.
But long term most feed shrimp. If only my tiger would take it

The easiest thing a feed mine is frozen calimari rings that get used for fried calimari but its easy because its very easy to cut and easy for the ray to eat because its in strips. Shrimp gets mushy if it gets a little warm before its cut but in general I feed my motoro that.

hmm ill try that eric.. thanks for the suggestion.
For a new ray, its best to stick with Blackworms for a while. Theyre the easiest food for rays to eat. Fatten them up for a few weeks then switch to shrimp or nightcrawlers.
When I got my first ray, it didn't eat for the first 3 weeks I had him. Then one day, I tried rosies and he wolfed them down. Now he's on a diet of 3 different foods. And only three because it's all I can get him to eat.
Blackworms
Ghost Shrimp
Rosies
I have tried red wiggler worms, also called trout worms, and if hungry enough he will eat them. Although for the most part the latter three are the way to go. Pull any rosies out that he doesn't eat though b/c after they've been in there for more than like 20 minutes, they generally can no longer smell them.
