Alright not 100% sure if they got me or my motoro's not accustomed to it yet. But, I've been feeding my motoro shrimp, pellets, and silversides since I've had him. And I was feeling ambitious this weekend and visited my LFS and ask them what they were feeding their rays because I figured I'd give my ray a treat if they fed something different, you know switch it up w/ more variety.

So anyway, the employee convinced me, though he never fed them himself (should of been warning clue #1), that he was positive they were feeding the rays krill (along with other foods). So I forked over my 25$ bought the smallest quantity of krill I could and attempted to feed mine.

Well I've been trying for 4 days, and I've yet to have any krill be eaten (this ray came from them 4 months ago if it matters, maybe he forgot the krill taste?). He seems to be getting quite good at picking out the krill in mixed feedings.

So, I'm sitting here like.. what the H.. .. .. So I did my research. Turns out krill are only found in salt water. So I'm assuming that's why they're not touching it? LFS suckered another 25$ out of me?

So here's my question. Has anyone been able to consistently feed their ray's krill? Or am I sitting on a bunch of useless krill?
 
i feed my ray krill all the time with no problm, he loves it. i get him to feed right out of my hand as long as the parrot fish are occupied eating in the other end of the tank.. lol either way my flower loves krill
 
thats like the only thing i feed my ray
 
dang the smallest amount was 25 bucks, i get a lil package of it for 5.99 at my lfs
 
my rays eat it,,,,,but at the price if they don't like it maybe try something else.bloodworms,night crawlers,cooked mussels,scallops,black worms etc....

I feed my rays, my ray pups and my paddle fish frozen krill. They cant get enough of it.

WAIT....are we talking the paddlefish that grows to about 12feet and filter feeds or is this a translation issue????

Sorry to hijack the thread but that is a serious problem to feed and house.
