Just got a new stingray ( only 4 or 5 inches) and just wondering what is the best to feed him! we have cut up shrimp and fish but sometimes he goes and eats it and other times he just swims over it and leaves it for another fish to eat. Also at my lps they only have giant super worms and silk worms or frozen cubes of blood worms which when defrosted its just a watery mess and goes everywhere. so not to sure what to feed him and help would be much appreciated! thanks.
 
In my opinion, Variety is the key. I'm feeding mysis shrimp, blood worms, cut up earth worms, and firemedics' homemade diet to my new born pup and he eats great.
 
For pups I feed california blackworms from aquaticfoods.com They are a very thin worm, about the size of a needle, and no longer than an inch or two. Only issue with them is once the ray starts eating them it can be hard to get them to eat anything else. Alternatively nightcrawlers cut up real small can work to.
