this thread made me curious, so i grabbed some squid cubes at the big als this weekend for my midas. he's not a fan. yet
I'm gonna run to A&P after work and pick some up. I'm looking forward to this. IDK what happened, but it seems my ray changed drastically after a week in my care. He went from an OK eater to a flat out monster once food hit the water. I love em!
looks like your ray finally got acclimated to its environment. Congrats and feed your ray well.
Skinless, nothing beats fresh squid.. i doubt your midas will refuse freshly cut up squid.
I feed all of my fish squid along with shrimp, cut fish, pellets, etc. I don't want them to really gravitate towards one thing, because they can eventually become finicky like a 2 year old child, haha.
For my rays, however, it did become a mainstay for them, mainly because it was less messy and held together better on the tank bottom. Rays sometimes like to chew and spit, which makes a big cloudy mess. The squid was more of a chew and swallow food. Preparation was easier than shelling shrimp as well.

Well put, deathcurl.. i guess it is the texture of the squid that makes them less messy than shrimps.
ok im going to be the dum 1 but where the do u get squid from as i would of thought the 1s at the supermarket would be pump full of chemicals and the same as shrimp and do u feed from frozen or fresh
