I bought my motoro stingray two days ago,
After putting it in my tank, i feed him shrimp after 1 hour at have all the shrimp.But today morning i feed him 4 shrimps at 11:30 AM.
Then i gave a 20% water change as it was the day of my week to change water i usually do.
At 7pm i feed all my fish but the ray did not have the shrimp. Now this is making me nervous. Tank mates are 1 silver Arowana 12" 1peacock bass 10" and 1 indo tigher 10".
I am really worried pls help me this ray is the first ray of my life. The tank is fully clean and got nothing in the bottom. Should i try him feeding or should wait for a day.

How big is the tank? Filtration? Water parameters

WhYeah not try massivore did you ask the person you bought it from what he was already eating?
 
The tank is 60"x24"x24" two external filter two sponge filter and one 25w power filter

This is probably not going to get very good reactions. You currently have a tank that is 24" wide and just bought a ray that can get up to 36" in disc size.

I do think you should just give the ray time to adjust. It might take days or weeks to adjust and feel comfortable.

Do you know what your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels are?

Dont forget the Aro, Peacock Bass + Indo Tiger (Guessing a Dat) in a very small tank with a quickly building bio-load...

Also, if i understood the OP correctly, hes only doing 20% water change a week??? Meaning all parameters are quite possibly through the roof...

So no offense to OP, but either start planning a LARGE tank build, or sell off your fish and find something more suitable for your tank size...

I know, I was trying to be constructive while strongly hinting that a bigger tank is necessary. All of those fish probably need a 500 gallon tank, at the very least.
 
I ishtiaque do you have a water test kit for Ammonia / Nitrate and Nitrite??? Coz we'll need to know what those levels are to give any solid info...
