My first ray

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Rays are a ton of fun. A little advice...Looks real thin I'd fatten it up with chopped earthworms. It appears to be a very small grow out tank, make sure you are doing water changes often. Good luck.

I'd keep the lights off for a while, like several days or really until it's feeding well. Offer worms 3/4 times a day

Earthworms are considered the go to food for difficult feeding rays whether they're wild caught or captive bred.

Is yours wild caught? If so I would contact the supplier and ask if they treated the ray(s) upon receiving them for internal parasites. If they didn't, whilst you're getting it feeding I would suggest treating the Ray for internal parasites.
