I uave 2 pairs ... 1 pair around 6 inch disk and 1 pair around 7.5 inch disk..... what feeding schedule should i have for them?.. how much hoe often?

Currently i have been feeding a variety of food twice a day about 2 mediuj size shrimp worth per feeding.... is this too much?

How big are ur rays and whats ur feeding schedule
 
My two motoros get a handful of massivore once or twice daily.What kind do you have?
 
Twice daily and as much as they will eat. At that size disc they should take at least 2 to 3 prawns each depending on the size of the prawns. Trial and error will help you judge how much to feed. They should clear up all the food with in 10 minutes.
 
Motoros ...... the smaller pair is with a 7.5 inch vatf and 6 4-5 inch silver dollars and the larger pair are currently alone but will be housed with my 3 armatus when they get to 7 inches

With my feeding schedule now they have a small hump at all times .... wasnt sure if i was feeding too much
 
What i usually do for all my rays and carnivore fish is get squid, shrimp, tilapia, mussels, smelt, and silver sides. Cut everything up and fill up multiple ice trays to the top.. add vitachem and then freeze it into cubes

The small pair gets 1 cube morning a nd 6 massivore pellets at nignt

The large pair gets 2 cubes morning and 8 massivore pellets at night
