Nic do you feed worms at all?

I spend 30 minutes a day cutting washing worms,thawing,peeling cutting shrimp,and then theres the maintenance of black worms.

nope.... only feed worms to new rays if that all they are eating... dont take me long to break them.... had a ray get parasites from feeding earthworms before.. i feed pellets,shrimp(freshwater), silver sides, smelts, clams, squid and anything else i can get them to eat... read my thread on breaking rays to new foods... you have these rays long enough that they shouldnt need black worms anymore... i throw a hand full of shrimp under my faucet (cold water) let it hit them for 2 min then start to peel... take knife slice and dice....
 
Hots,
Try changing the direction of the current. (aim it lower)
For my large rays I don't peal the shells off the shrimp & they still inhale 'em,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,actually your Steve ate 'em with shells when I had him.
 
6 rays are alot of rays for a 4.5x4.5 not busting your chops.rays somtime like to be left alone maybe there trying to swim away.;)

i have never heard that rays like to be alone?Thats why they catch them on banks of the river system stacked on top of each other?

i actually put the rays all together for eating reasons,the size of the tank is just fine for some time anyways.

please no tank size police needed on my thread.I have had hockey rink size ponds,don't worry about my fish having space:}
 
nic i am trying your feeding tricks.


I was under the impression that night crawlers were very good for rays?

five of my rays are from wild,and were very skinny when i got them so i wanted to fatten them up with what ever they would eat before trying your methods.

they are now all fatter but some do not like silver sides,a few don't like shrimp,and they all seem to love the school of neons that were in the tank.
