I am sure if we were in the wild we'd starve some days doesn't mean it's healthy? But everyone has their own methods of keeping rays works for u since urs a breeding. But still think they should be feed daily and not over fed either.

The first zoo to breed tiger rays actually first born in the world they only feed the rays 4 day per week . I think keeping them healthy is the key to breeding rather than porking them up on shrimp like I did for so many years.

I think a natural pattern of feeding would be no pattern at all?

I might remember to feed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and then forget Thursday - the following week i might not forget at all, i might forget twice - one day i might feed once, i might feed twice?

Typically it's always most days once or twice but surely there is flexibility in this...
 
1 time per day on average, BUT- my fish are too fat which is easy to see in a Gar (not as much in a stingray). This has indicated that I should cut back-Fat fish are NOT healthy. Sometimes I skip a day, to three or five-allowing the system and fish to purge themselves clean.

Example- I am leaving this weekend- nobody gets fed for 2 days- no biggie.
 
Once a day but not heavy. One ray may eat more than the others during one feeding and another the next. The one that got the least the meal before is the most aggressive for food the next time. They all manage to get something each feeding.
 
I don't feed wednesdays because I play softball and am out of the house during normal feeding time. I will also randomly skip a day for other reasons. I only feed adult rays once a day but young rays at least twice
