My rays have always gone crazy for MS. Its the only thing my 12 inch male will come and snatch out of my hand! Raw is a must! Maybe you are feeding to much or they are not the right size for the right size.
Even if its just shrimp, nothing else, they wont eat it. Only one of my males will eat it. Rest of my rays dont or might only eat a piece or two. One female will not touch it at all. If I put in worms, silverside and shrimp, everything is gone but the shrimp. No matter the size I cut it down to, they wont do it..
Its frozen market shrimp. I thaw real fast under cold water before putting in tank, but its weird.. they just wont do it.
I know raw is better... just didnt know if everone else out there was doing the same thing, raw.... or if they were cooking..

Raw is the way to go
Cooking it removes a lot of the nutritional value I am sure
But you should be making DIY ray food it is so much easier and cheaper and my ray loves it. It is also a very clean food and you can put whatever you want in it including vitamins garlic etc...
ya, I know raw is better due to cooking them will not have as much nutritional value as raw does. Thats why I have always done raw..
I have been doing DIY food for a few weeks, almost a month now, ever since the post were on here a few weeks or so ago. Got a good recipe.... I dont feed it to them everyday though. 4 time a week. The rest of the time I do worms, this and that.. Even if I throw worms, silversides and shrimp in together, they will eat every worm, silverside thats in there, but not one piece of the shrimp. I even cut them up to a smaller size and nope.. wont do it.
