I just got the so called "teacup" stingray 3 days ago. The problem is that he is not eating anything. I gave him live bloodworms and ghost shrimp and he had no reaction to them. He is active and swimming around tank. I know my water is fine. There is no phisical damage on ray. I also have a 6inch silver aro with him that is doing great. I was hoping you guys can help me to get him to eat. Thanks
I know this is a noob question but...

I recently bought one as well. Took a week before it would eat live black worms. It now will eat tiny red wrigglers, but not larger ones that are chopped up. It also eats frozen blood worms and frozen mysid shrimp.
Keep trying with yours and maybe try live blackworms. How big is your ray? The ghost shrimp may be too big for it to eat.

Try putting live blackworms/bloodworms in right before or after lights out. My retic didn't eat for the first few days, but then I noticed if I added the worms and then turned out the lights, she was more likely to eat. She is much more active during the day now, but still seems to do a lot of her foraging and eating at night.
