ok im just wonderin how u guys feed ur rays silversides? i have a retic an he only eats black worms so far nothin else i have heard all of u have luck with feeding ur rays this! i was lookin at my lfs in the frozen foods i seen the silversides for about 6 dollars is that the normal price 4 them! thanks!!
 
that's about right . . . also, try frozen tilapia. it's cheaper and you get more for your buck, on a dollar-per-pound basis. plus, the nutritional value is similar.
 
also does anyone have retics that eat these if so do u chop them up in little pieces of what?
 
I doubt your rays will eat them now. I have never kept retics but have kept a lot of other rays. The normal transition I have noticed is black worms or ghost shrimp, then worms or frozen shrimp, and then the scallops and tilapia (or other fish types). I have never seen a ray go for frozen fish without converting them over to it. I have seen them eat live fish right off the bat but not dead.
