Never Been So Happy To Have Been Bitten By A Ray!!!

[Kolossus]

So I was hand-feeding my smallest female marbled motoro (the one I rescued a lil while ago) and she bit my finger! Why am I so happy??? Well, when I first got her, I did not think she would make it. She barely ate cut up leaf worms. Then I finally got her to take them consistently...Moved on to nightcrawlers...and Now she takes market shrimp!!!! She is progressing quite nicely and is eager to eat from my hands until she is a balloon. She bit my finger while I was hand-feeding her a piece of market shrimp that was I guess a bit too small. I felt pressure and a little grit but no blood was drawn. I couldn't be happier

I will post some updated shots when she has made a full (aesthetic) recovery.

Really pleased for you,theres this great feeling of achievement when you get such a result.......its called perseverance and a never give in attitude,it comes from a deep love of the fish you keep.

Well done !

Always a good feeling when you nurse a ray back from almost death.

She's is growing, as well as growing on me quite rapidly. I was planning on nursing her, then selling her as when I picked her up, I definitely was not planning on any more marbleds for the moment. But, she may just be a keeper! Seems she has won my heart...

Great feeling. It looks to be a keeper.

I say "sell her!" "sell her!" "to me!" "to me!"

If you do decide to sell her, hit me up.

Indeed it is...And indeed she does!

LOL! Unfortunately B, you're about third in line if I do decide to sell. But I take that as a compliment...Thanks bro! We'll see what happens.

Do you normally hand feed your rays? Or just this one because he still has the cover on the barb?
