Stingray Eating Problem.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I know they are different, but around in my area all you can get is bloodworms. I think if they refuse bloodworms they are more than likely to refuse blackworms.
 
?? The bloodworms I get are live too.....
 
hmmm ok... i have never seen live bloodworms for sale around by me, its all frozen. But i would still suggest getting them blackworms
 
okay, never feed live blood worms as they BITE, literally. They will bite and trust me, it hurts alot, i use them for fishing and have been bitten quite a few times already. As said before, chop earthworms into peices and feed that. If you've only gotten them a week ago, chances are, they 're still getting used to their surroundings. As long as they're eating, then it SHOULD be fine. Did you quarentined them? Are you sure they dont have parasites and such? When i got my first retic it was kinda like how yours is right now, kills ghost shrimp but doesn't eat them, and only eats a little. But after about 2 weeks, they wouldn't stop eating, and the third week, they were already on pellets and market prawns. Chances are, your rays are still adapting to their new tank. O and BTW 55 gallons wont last them very long.
 
I didn't know bloodworms can bite. But they are pretty small, I don't get why you would use them fishing but the person I bought them from said he already cured them from all parasites. I'm trying to sell all my fish from my 180 gallon, so I can make it into a stingray tank. That is why I'm QT them in the 55 gallon. I hope mine are just like yours.
Thanks all
