These guys are less than a week old and tearing up anchovies/smelt.. Normally i keep them stuffed on worms when born and they just nibble for a few weeks, these guys are eating smelt/anchovies like crazy!

once they are ruined and eat BLK worms it is a little more tricky sometimes.
I would soak small pieces of smelt in the black worms and try cutting up the smelt very very small, feed the smelt without the blk worms

black worms are a good way to get a stubborn ray to eat but, if you don't need to i would not. Usually i get my pups on earthworms cut real small, and then slowly get them to eat smelt or shrimp. These i started them off on smelt and presto, they took it.!
