my new hystrix girls

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
just keep trying the worms they will take them

It can be hard to get rays off of ghost shrimp some times which sucks because they are not very filling or nutritional

You may want to check out your water parameters just for piece of mind but I would guess they are just settling in still and will eat for you soon
 
Some rays love worms and others it takes them a while. A lot of rays I have got from peru will not eat worms at first especially if wild caught. Keep ghost shrimp in the tank for them to eat and get settled. Ghost shrimp will eat worms and they love black worms so keep some shrimp in another container and feed them the black worms. Then feed the shrimp to the rays. Once they are eating these really good then start working them off of live food. I always started by killing the ghost shrimp and once they ate them dead I would start to through in small pieces of frozen shrimp with the dead ghost shrimp. Once on frozen shrimp they will usually eat just about anything with minimal effort.
 
Any news or status on these 2 orb's? They might be so skinny that its stressing them and they might not make it! Sorry
 
OOOH thank god. Blackworms dont have much nutriential value, but i would keep feeding them, and maybe throw a worm in also to try and give them to eat the worm also...

Beef them up! nice work

I've thought that live blackworms had nutritional value while bloodworms didn't. Is this true???
Glad to hear your rays are finally eating. Hope they get fat soon!!
