how often and how much to feed my rays?

[piranha_guy_dan]

they are feeding on chopped earth worms right now. how often should i feed them? feed them until they wont take anymore?

is it possible to over feed them and cause health issues? i know africans get bloat if they eat too much and it causes them to die.

Rays eat ALOT. Feed them untill you see a nice hump in their backs.

i agree with jd7.62
smaller rays need more food than larger rays
feed at least dailey till they hump up
i feed my large rays every other day to save money and water quality issues but when i do feed i feed alot

thanks for the quick replies guys. i will get another dozen earth worms today for more feedings.

i have no problem with feeding them daily but how much? do i feed them until they wont eat anymore?

i dont want to over feed and kill them if thats possible to do like with africans and bloat.

sometimes i will put a ton of food in when the rays are full enough they will stop eating
i have never had a problem with bloat death etc.... from overfeeding
