I got these rays from a great source. They are captive bred and eating well at the facility that I got them from.
It took 4 days for them to eat chopped nightcrawlers (chopped because the rays are so small). Then on day 6 they are acting totally normal and have readily taken bits of chopped shrimp (AKA Market Prawn, MP, raw cocktail shrimp).
Totally Normal = moving about the tank looking for food, investigating the tank
This is a great example of how long it CAN take for these awesome little fish to acclimate to there surroundings and start acting normal.
Sometimes, a ray will eat right out of the bag! I can't state what is more normal. This is purely an informative thread provided to the general ray keeping public and future ray keeping public about how long it MAY take a newly acquired ray to get settled and eat in your tank at home.
