Sting Ray Update

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You should not be trying to convert your rays right now. You should be trying to pack as much weight on your rays for the next couple weeks before you even try to switch up their diet. Stick with whatever they will eat, forgot what they won't for now.
 
I didn't say convert. I said try. Two of mine switched to shrimp of their own volition - just offer that first, if the ray likes it great, if not come back 10 minutes later with stuff you know they like. Chop up some shrimp and food they like, mix it up, offer that. I totally agree a skinny ray isn't a candidate for forcing to switch but there's no reason to not offer them something more in addition to what they're already eating.
 
I have a bunch of earth worms that they devour...and I will try some smelt. I've fed shrimp already, they didn't like it much. Tomorrow when I get the smelt I will place some smelt and worms at the same time and see what happens.
