Eating??

[frasse]

Hey i have 2 motoro stingrays they are not adults yet and the female rejects all food exept dead guppys she will just throw herself over them..
My question is are there a way too get her fat on not only guppys???

Have you tried small red trout worms? or black worms?

Yes but she rejects it swims too the other side of the tank and wont go near it...

how about the other ray? whats your water conditioners, any other fish that may stress it out. try live blackworms or bloodworms just to get her to eat something. also try small cut pieses of live nightcrawler. motoros usually have a huge appetite and eat anything

The other ray eats anything i put in the aquarium and theres just a baby TSN in with them the TSN is much smaller than the rays..

Get her fat on whatever she will eat and then starve her for two days. On the third, fourth and fifth days offer her what you want her to eat. If on day five she still refuses, go back to feeding her the food she likes for a week or so and then repeat the process.

She will make the switch. Hunger is a powerful force.
