Hip bones are showing. Not a good sign. Was this a fresh import or was it at a store for a while?

I got him at the store today

Looks skinny, but it has nice full tail... feed him ALOT of live blackworms for the best chance.

Good luck with your Retic!

+1 Load him up on blackworms and maybe treat for parasites

Oh, and lose the term teacup. He is a reticulata, retic for short. Teacup is a deceiving term used to sell rays to people who cannot actually provide the proper footprint.

Retic? What does that stand for? What kind of ray is that ?

The guy at the store said he was eating bloodworms and ghost shrimp... I feed all my fish blood worms and beef hearts

I'd love to see how your experiences go with this fish - I have never kept one, but they are very cool, and I can see myself trying one out at some point in the future.

I have never fed a ray blood worms before. I've only fed blackworms, chopped earth worms, shrimp smelt tilapia etc. I would try to get your ray to eat chopped earth worms. Cut them into 1" segments. he needs to eat alot or he will die shortly.
