Halp! Stingray Puke!!

maybe its time to just move to red wigglers and night crawlers...

 

[Tom]

I feed them those also. I mix it up all the time for them. I am trying the methods you posted to get them to eat other things but no luck yet.

 

[Nic]

if they are eating red wigglers then ditch the black worms...

 

[Tom]

Is it because they have less of a nutritional value?

Well dead black worms float where live ones sink faster, so I scoop them out with a small brine shrimp net. I think this was just an accident on my part. I feed them blackworms every other day and have gut loaded ghost shrimp available for them at all times. The shrimp are loaded with veggie waffers and mixed veggies. What happened was I fed them til they were plump the day before and I was trying to get my new ray to eat (they all are in quarantine in this one tank) and I think the one that puked just ate too much. Everybody is doing well and I am improving my filtration as we speak to prevent tradgedy in the future!

whats ur technique for getting the veggie wafers in the shrimp? are they live shrimp?

 

[Tom]

I keep a separate tank for live ghost shrimp. I feed them algae wafers then drop them in the tank soon after
