id try to introduce some live foods such as worms , shrimp, mussels, or clams. Live foods always are better. Blackworms, bloodworms, ghost shrinp, chopped nightcrawlers, etc. The pellets in my opinion really isnt what rays should be eating. If you could find a way to locate some fw clams that would really be great.

I feed mine pellets mainly but a variaty of pellets foods and I then plus mix it up with fresh fish and shrimp now and then and my rays have grown quiet fast but I think the trick is that I have found is feeding my rays more often in a day than one large feeding a day. Try feeding multiple times a day and also having pristine water conditions is important to for your rays growth.

pellets cant go wrong they are like feeding dogs or cat dry food

a good pellets has most of the stuff in them most other foods do and more

i feed loads of pellets and the cheap peeled cooked frozen prawns as a filler been doing this for 6 years now never had a problem and all rays have bred and had large healthy litters
