hey i forgot to ask is it going to be a proble mat all that i have an 8inch or so sp. peru and a 4-5 in retic in the same time the sp. peru is a female the retic is a male? female is almost 2 times the size of the male? also i have been trying other foods like krill and oscar pellets but they dont seem to eat them neither do my oscars lol. they go crazy over blood worms and i seem to be feeeding bloodworms constantly through out the day. are blood worms bad to be feeding alot? iv tryed soaking the other food in blood worms but not go iv also tried cut up silver sides and they are also a no go. they do eat red wrigglers but its a trip for me to get them as well as night crawlers havent tried feeding night crawlers tho. and i ahve yet to find a store with black worms.
 
also are rays known to jump? i keep hearing splashin and see them swimming on the glass but at the top of the tank splashing around

I bet they will eat earthworms, as for the splashing there probabally swimming up the side of the tank. They could jump out..do you have a lid?

I agree with hoover.BTW there will always be an endless discussion on what to feed stingrays. Whats good, or whats bad. People argue all the time about what is healthy and what can cause problems like parasites. Just be sure that the food your rays eat is clean and safe before you feed them. Rays have been known to be feed blackworms, bloodworms, earthworms, trout worms, red worms, raw shrimp, cooked shrimp, ghost shrimp, tilapia filets, whole smelt, silversides, live feeder fish or all kinds, scallops, crayfish, fish pellets and the occasional tankmate. I feed my rays night crawlers and whole cooked shrimp. they take it very well and seem to be very healthy and happy.
 
well i hope i can get these guys nice and big and fat in the next month or so because im almost 100% positive im picking up a 340 gallon tank that i dont know how im gona set up and or carey but that will come i guess im going to check it out today
 
go get some red wigglers... they will be good to fatten up the rays... in a few weeks of good feedings you can starve them for other foods...
