Orbignyi baby update

[jim barry]

Had about a week now. 5" nice full tail and eating everything i give to her. She even sat in the palm of my hand and fed!!!!!!!! Whish i had the camera to hand when that happened! She has settled really well and the other two rays seem to enjoy her company and allow her to feed nicely. Although the other two are doing good with extra food now because i have gone back to twice a day feeds for a while to fatten up the new arrival. She is being fed shrimp,cockles,whitebait,bloodworm,beefheart,trout and i have just got a load of worm (1000) from the internet so give her another week and she will be nice and fat!

sweet ray but she looks extremely skinny! hopefully you can bulk her up w/ all those foods you're feeding her. when you get your worms in, i recommend to use a turkey baster, suck some worms up, and shoot it right under her disc to ensure that she's getting her share.

Nice little ray!
Are you having problems with feeding at all?
Mine only want to eat earth worms

No problems with any type of foods. She did not eat for the first couple of days but soon realised that it was good to eat when she saw the other two. It can be tricky getting her a good share of food so for now i have increased feeds to two or three a day which has bumped up my need for more water changes too. But she is worth it !!
