i put shrimp, scallops and massivore pelets in there there and he wont touch a thing....ill get some pics up soon
hes getting so small!!! It just starte happening but im trying to feed him as much as he can eat....
put in ALOT of black worms. not just a pinch a few BIG pinches and see what he does. also get some night crawlers and cut them up see if it will eat those.
ive got all of it in there and all he will eat is ghost shrimp still....and the pet store has ZERO.....im really nervous
They love ghost shrimp......however they have very little in them in the way of nutrition. It is so sad to see him like that, he is EXTREMELY thin. The pellets are usually a hard one to get them to take especially if he is used to live food. If he will eat black worms even though they are really expensive you are going to have to let him eat all he will eat until he starts filling back out. And I mean let him eat all he wants! I am not sure how much longer he can go being that thin. I am happy to see you are doing something now.
I mean he JUST started looking like this thats why i was so confused...hes been fine for like the past 3 months...and all of the sudden he is just looking sick....i have everything he could possibly eat in his tank right now im really hping he starts eating...
Good luck with him man just keep the faith and keep the food coming as long as he will eat. I would try to get him eating cut up earthworms ASAP they will fill him out very fast and rays love them
Usually for a ray to be that thin it is not an all of a sudden thing. I still think I would treat with Prazi Pro if you can get your hands on some. Did you say you got him some night crawlers yet? Get some of them and cut them up pretty small, smaller than the ghost shrimp, you can also soak stuff in with the black worms and some times that will prompt them to eat something they normally wouldn't since it will then smell like the black worms. If he is only eating ghost shrimp and won't eat anything else since he is so thin I would let him eat as many of them as he wants 3 isn't even a tiny snack for a motoro. I have seen my retics on the RARE occasion that I let them play with ghost shrimp clear out 50 of them in a night between 2 retics around 8 inches. I hope this guy pulls out for you. Is there anything else in his tank with him?
As skinny as he is you are going to have to feed him what he likes in huge portions. Put 50 ghost shrimp in there and let him go to town. Hopefully you will get him to fatten up quickly.
