Got my retic eating pellets. But motoro-not yet.

Just wondered how long others have starved a ray for whilst trying to convert to another type of food....
(when I mean starve..I mean feeding only what u want it to eat)

yepp, offered pellets everyday but she wouldn't give in, she was nice and fat before and after the starving, she ended up with really prominent hip bones and a really skinny tail. That was like a couple weeks ago, she still seems really skinny right now.

Add 2 drops of Kent Marine "Garlic Xtreme" just before feeding & nothing edible will remain in the tank.

do you put the 2 drops in the water or on the foods?
 
garlic has never made any ray of mine just eat any food thrown in the tank... if your going for rays dont waste your money...


longest ive starved will start all the pathetic flame PMs to start back up...

i never had to starve my motoro into eating pellets. i just marinated the pellets in mysis shrimp. they ate all of them up the first shot.
