I know im supose to stuff the lil guy when i first get him but its been a week and i swear my 6" male motoro is eating at least 10 nitecrawlers a day.... its good that he is eating and everything but ... is it possible to over feed or should i just keep feeding him
 
well laitly he spends his whole day suspended above my bubbler its really funny to see, and then he comes down and i offer him a split in half night crawler and he eats it out of my hand chomps on it ... i offer him the other and he chomps it down, then he goes back to swimming for a while and i try again later and he still eats them
 
its almost like he thinks he is swimming a distance and comes down to check for food...
 
his apitite just started to peak now to that, so as long as he eats ... im happy :)
 
Rays are normally starved for months until they get to a home aquarium. Even them some are so stressed they wither away and die. If yours is eating that readily, I say let him fatten up. It is a great sign! Plus they have fast metabolisms. Post pics!!! BTW, is his tail thick?
 
feed feed feed he will stop when he is full.... my old big female would eat 25-30 massivore pellets and a piece or 2 of shrimp
