How much to feed?

okay thanks. Right now he just wants live bloodworm and since he's still small I can afford to feed it. Will switch try to switch in 2 more weeks.

I feed mine all kinds of fish meat, they will eat anything, but they like fresh water fish better

i would also try soaking some freeze dried shrimp in water to soften the shrimp up before you go to the real market shrimp.

this way he can make a better transition from freeze dried, which is softer once soaked, to the more chewy tougher market shrimp.

If i can chime in for a minute....I am pretty new at rays myself so let me ask this, both my rays will pound down the blood worms, but I also get regular worms from my local bait shop and they love these as well. My question is...will my rays get he proper nutrition from just bloodworms and regular worms, or should they get different things like the shrimp or krill so i can be assured they are getting everything they need health wise.... hopefully this info will help others that are new at rays like myself. thanks in advance.....chris.

I would mix it up. Earthworms are a great source of nutrition.

However, shrimp and smelt are also great choices that cost a lot less than the earthworms.

just make sure you cut the shrimp/squid into bite size for easy chewing.
