They should be on black worm until 4"- 5" try to switch them over to more solid foods the sooner the better. So you dnt have to hike far to buy black worm. Good luck
 
Well I dumped alot of black worms in. They all settled into the sand and look like grass now. Rays get along together right? The one deff looks fatter then the other but both appear fine thou.
 
These are my old ray pups, they are bigger than than 2". Theyre about the size of an average persons palm about 4", maybe 5".

Due to my own laziness and the fact that rays this small eat when lights are out, I feed them blackworms and pellets at night when lights were off. The pups are probaby about 2 months old and were captive bred and born in my tank. For the last 2 weeks I had them, they ate nothing but broken carnivore pellets. Today will be exactly one week that the OP has had them in his tank, so they are still a fairly new addition.

I personally think the female gave birth a week or two premature. The pups seemed a little small, but have grown very nicely and out of 6 pups, all 6 are still alive and are all in varying different waters.
 
Theres got to a place closer that sell the black worms, To have that many rays I woudnt skimp on the food early on, You dont want to starve them
