Reticula Q

[West1]

Are Earthworms good for them?
Also what is the best way to get a 6" Retic on market shrimp?

Thanks

Try soaking finely chopped shrimp with bloodworms or blackworms.

cut very small and offer with the worm.... stuff the worm with shrimp... or just starve the ray for a week or 2

Starving the ray seems to be a little harsh. I soaked mine in with bleeding night crawlers and that did the trick.

Thanks guys. She chows down on blood worms but it dont seem to be filling her up (no J-Lo booty). Im going to try to stuff her with blood worms then go on a 3 day starving diet till she takes some. Hopefully that will work

chop the worm up, i've seen some messed up pics with earthworms coming out of the holes in rays heads. yikes!

I will. Thanks
I noticed when i feed her and the blood worms are on top of her, some get sucked in the holes and they dont come out. is that bad?

Alright, I will try 5.

She is W/C from somewhere in Brazil so I need to PraziPro her. Should I use the exact amount per GL?
She is currently in a 50gl with a ton os oxygen and 2 filters... H20 changes are every 5 days

Thanks
