How do u get your rays on shrimp/smelt?

Hi guys, what kind of tricks/methods do you guys use to get your new rays onto shrimp and/or smelt? I've tried soaking shrimp in with blood worms but it hasn't worked yet. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

When I had my Motoro's I started putting little chopped pieces in with blackworms and used a feeding tube to get it all right in front of the rays. After a week or so I started decreasing the amount of bloodworms and within 3 week they ate nothing but cut fish and shrimp.

I cut my shrimp and Tilipia up into smaller pieces and mix with cut up night crawlers.
Stir it real well with small amount of water and refrigerate several hours to
marinate the worm juices and blood. Then I feed just the shrimp and Tilapia to the ray,
it has worked every time for me on the first try with the exception of my flower where
it took several days of starving then she took it. Usually I just do it on the day after I fast them.

Thanks all for the replies. Very much appreciated. I'm going to increase the soaking time and add some garlic guard (to increase appetite)
