My tiger ray has started to create problem now.
At first I put him in the stingray comm tank, to train him to eat prawn.
It was all unsuccessful….and he became very thin
When the others are eating prawn, he just stood there quietly not eating at all.

I now put him in a solitary tank to fatten him up.
Still he eats only a little.
I feed him 2 times a day with 5 pcs of superworms, but he only will eat 1-2 pcs of superworms a day.

How can I make his appetite bigger? I am planning to feed him with frozen blood worm tomorrow.

Can you guys give me idea how to increase his apetite?
I am planning to fatten him up first, and then train him again to eat prawn.

How big is he??
 
I got a amigo that have the same problem tank was to small flower and tigers what I have heard are picky they need big tanks..
I hope some member can help you good luck compadre..
 
If they are available in your area try some earthworms cut into smaller pieces. You might also try a large amount of live ghost shrimp. They are not very nutritious but rays seem to like them and anything is better than nothing
