well i would say that hikari have spent lots of $$$ making sure the pellets are a complete food thats why they are one of the best selling dry foods world wide
im not saying my rays dont get prawns mussel bllod worm and river shrimp but their main food is pellets
if you like digging up your yard every few days to find enought night crawers to feed a adult ray then go for it
their is everything a ray needs in pellets to grow them to adult size and breed
both my female p14 are fed mainly pellets and both are preg now when my pups were born last time they were feeding on pellets within 2hrs of birth

well put David. worms are the best imo as well. i have some rays downstairs I have had for almost 10 years now, their main diet, worms and prawns.
I used to work for omega one fish foods, I was part of their research team for nutrients and protiens, man can only duplicate nature so much.
Bottom line if you want your RAYS to live for along time, feed live foods. If you cant clean up their mess, get rid of your rays and go back to cichlids.

they are made for all bottom feeding meat eaters
my rays have fed on pellets from pup size to adult breeding size in just over 2 yrs the pups that were born had NO deformatys and none of the pups died
i would say thats prof that the pellets have all the rays need in them would it make you feel better if the pellets had a pic of a ray on it

I would have to say them are fighting words
j/k but I my self have been using nightcrawlers and pellets on my motoros and it took me about 3 months to get my motoros eating the pellets and now that they are eating them its better because its cheaper and I know that they are getting vitamins but I will always feed worms because of the high protein and they never refuse them. My tiger and flower rays will not eat pellets no matter what I've been trying everything I'll get the worms rinse them let them sit in water then i crush the pellet and put the powder all over the worms and let the powder sink into the worm for awile and then feed it to the tiger ray so that it can get use to the taste but no luck yet with just the pellet, I guess because they think they're better that the motoros or something they problably think that pellets are government issue and the worms are cavier, f-ing snotty rays Night crawlers have grown my tigers from 8" to 18" in a 1yr span
a diet strictly of nightcrawlers seem to do the trick for me I purchase 10,000 a month and they eat 500 a day and no food on the weekends
