My first ray

Live food like ghost shrimp can be a slippery slope. Harder to get him off of it now, but you gotta make sure it's fed, so it's a difficult balance. If it were me, get him as fat as you can quickly, and then try never to feed them again. Try blood worms or frozen ghost shrimp. There are tons of ideas on how to get rays eating other food, I'm sure if you can't find them some of us can post here, I find its all about mixing and soaking.

Here's a thought, if you have a way, get him hungry, drop in a ghost shrimp, get him to eat it, drop in a second one, get him to eat it, and try to trick him with something else on the third go. It will help when he responds to you as a food source. Maybe once he takes dead ones you can try stuffing a pellet inside somehow. Either way keep going man, with a bit if patience you'll get it, rays can be fragile but i also think they can be pretty hardy at times as well so a bit of starvation (once it gets fatter) is not a bad thing.

Yea I gotta try stuff he not even eating earthworms an those hiruku tablets and raw shrimps it's hard
 
All mine love earthworms blackworms ghostshrimp and sinking pellets. It can be nerve raking and it's a pain but it's worth it. Good luck brother.

If u can get him eating worms you can soak pellets in the busted up worms to help with getting him onto pellets.
