Right now my motoro is approximately 5" in diameter. How much live blackworms should I feed it? How do I know that I am feeding enough?
 
agreed with the above, but try to get it on shrimp! its cheaper....
 
You can feed rays a lot. I have a 5in retic right now and she can pound back the blackworms. I feed her all throughout the day and by night time she is pretty fat.

I would also suggest to get it on somthing other than blackworms. They get expensive after awhile. They are getting expensive for me at least. I am trying to get my ray on to smelt right now, it is cheaper than shrimp at my stores anyways. But I will when it gets bigger get it on shrimp.
 
How do you get stingrays onto alternative food such as shrimp? Do I just throw it in with the bloodworms?

be sure to chop it up first, it can be very chewy and big for some rays
 
Yes, just throw it in w/o the black worm. Mine didn't eat for like day before eating shrimps. Now he eats like 5-6 shrimps.
