would anyone tell me how to train our rays for eating pellets?
my rays just so selective with their food,they don't efent touch a dead food,
so i usually just give them shrimp,small catfish,n earthworm,,
any idea to make them want eat dead foods?or even pellets...

u can try marinating the pellets in either blood worms, finely chopped earth worms, mysis shrimp or w.e. their eating.

last resort would be to starve them for a while. however, u should only do this if their very healthy, don't starve a dieing ray!

for pellets my first resort is to starve.... pellets dont really suck up the scent of other foods as they have there own scent....

ok,nice tips,i'll try it,
but is there any effects if i put another fish that has already eat pellets?
last day i combined them with my RTC n they just run rapidly..-_-'

My Retric loves Hikari sinking Cichlid Gold pellets.

He's even passed over fresh chopped shrimp for them! Of course I have a weird ray, he's never really liked shrimp or krill from the beginning. But he loves to tear up de-clawed crays!

so u put the RTC with ur ray(s) in hopes of maybe it stimulate the rays to eat the pellets? when u say, '' they just run rapidly '', do u mean they got scared of the RTC? is this what ur trying to say? this is probably not a good idea if ur rays are getting stressed out by the RTC. i would just marinate and starve.
what type of ray(s) do u have?

i just started to keep stingrays about last 2-3 month,
now i have 4 10" motoros,3 female n 1 male.

im glad to hear their eating! u can always order pellets in bulk online and i think someone on here ships them im not sure... pellets get expensive but their worth it in the end! u have to feed ur rays anyways which costs money, u might as well dish out a couple bucks more for the good stuff.

it can take awhile for a ray to adapt to new foods. my rays eat everything except feeders.... which makes no seance.... i know... im hoping when they get a bit bigger they will eat feeders. their only 6-7 '' in diameter.

they took pellets the first time i ever through them in the tank. but their favorite is mysis shrimp and dew worms.

i dont have yahoo messenger but i do have facebook, msn messanger and of course E mail. if u want any of these PM me.

i feed mine hikari carnivor , hikari massivor , trout pellets , carp pellets and frozen shrimp . the smaller ray has trouble with the bigger trout pellets but i just try feed her more of the others to compensate. they vacuum them all up regardless so im not complaining . they have eaten algae wafters in the past but i dont activly feed them to the rays.

ive tried shrimp pellets and blood worm pellets with no success . very strange to me as i thought they would love them . but there you go .
