GETTING MOTORO TO EAT

Use market shrimp and cut it to tiny pieces. Then drop it. Any other tankmates? Motoros aren't stupid. Probably it doesn't like the food your giving. Be patient and it'll eat.
Feed him live earthworms, maybe even chopped into small bits, until he recognized Humans = Food. After he eats earthworms, as well as live blackworms, voraciously, he will have alot easier time getting used to shrimp.
just cut up market shrimp into small pieces and throw it in the tank and turn off the lights. i did this the second day i got my ray, and it ate. and now it know it eats immieditly after i drop the shrimp in.

100% correct....
I feed mine fresh cut talapia fillets, shrimp, earth worms, and black worms...try more sinkin foods instead of floating
All rays are pigs and will eat food....he just might not want krill....
Whats your ph like i find if my ph dropes then my rays try to get out of the tank and worms are always a good starter.
