I feed mealworm it dirty the water.should I feed them potato???

Is the prawn raw or cooked? My fish won't touch cooked seafood.

And, if you think mealworms can dirty your tank, wait'll you see just how bad potato can foul your tank.

Earthworms, dwarf crayfish, mussel meat, clam meat, squid strips, fresh fish meats, chicken heart, chopped beef heart, etc. may all work.

Tilapia works also. Can get a 4 pound bag at walmart for 11 bucks.
Just take out what they dont eat in 10 min. If you have any other fish in with them, the other fish will also help clean up any small floating pieces the rays shed off while eating. Doesnt dirty the water and is a good food to feed them. Mine love it..
Regular water changes of course

The best way I have found is to use ghost shrimp which it sounds like they are eating now. Start to kill the ghost shrimp first so they get use to eating them dead. Then after about 4 feedings start to put small pieces of market shrimp in the tank with the dead ghost shrimp. Just mix them together in a bowl then put in tank. They will start to eat the market shrimp then just feed that only with now ghost shrimp in it.
