now today i visited a new LFS by my area and have spoken to the owner and their worker... i told them my female wont let the male do the act.. the owner and the worker said what i feed my rays and i told them i feed the male massivor pellets and the female only eat raw market prawn... then they say because market prawn have sterile so the female doesnt want to breed with the male... now they claim i should feed my female with silver sides for a month and will help the breeding again.. Now i would like to hear from you Ray experts out there.. have you ever heard of this?? is it true that feeding your rays with market prawn make the rays dont want to breed???
 
Fed my rays frozen prawn since owning them. In the year that they were breeding I had 20 pups from 3 different females and the one same very horny male. Unfortunately the male was so horny he got himself killed in another breeding attempt. So I would not say that feeding prawn stops rays breeding!!
