Market shrimps for rays

[monster_lover01]

I'm currently feeding my 7" motoro with two(one during the day and one at night) large market shrimps(cut into smaller pieces) everyday. I would just like to know if it's enough or not, because I don't want to underfeed him. Kindly tell me if what I'm doing is okay or not.. Thanks!

Why not add a little more variety to their diet? Just market shrimp?

I agree, add some variety in there.. I feed mine shrimp, bloodworms, earthworms, and fish fillets.. and sometimes pellets but only one of my rays will eat the pellets..

I was feeding him bloodworms before, and now i'm trying to feed him market shrimps. What do you suggest? I'm thinking to feed him 1 market shrimp and 1 tab of bloodworms everyday(for two meals). Is this enough?

Another question, can i feed them with superworms? Thanks for your replies

If you can get superworms to sink without popping them lol then sure. As long as your ray is not super gorged on food then you are fine. Try some small earthworms chopped into quarters.

rays should tell you when they are full, by not eating any more, just feed him till he doesnt eat any more

silversides or smelts are great to add to there diet... they usually take to them pretty easy too... and define large shrimp? you cant really under feed them by your feeding but you can over feed

I would say if your large shrimp is labelled the same as our large shrimp you would probably need to feed it more.

Like everybody else said, variety is best...
