OOO the bloodworms are use are like little red worms. I will try the prazi stuff, the rays can eat it and be alright?
Thanks

yea it treats rays for internal parasites and its best if its injected by the rays since rays are different then other fish and treating stingray tanks would be expensive due to the large volume of water
 
Any amount is good? Or it there an amount I should be using. Thanks

Just for reference, how do you know how much to inject into worm. Is it
possible to put to much thus putting the ray at risk or ODing. You beat me to it<^^
 
sounds like normal feeding for freshly acclimated retics.... watch your water params rays produce alot of waste and you dont hhave alot of water.....
 
Thanks Nic, and guys. I will still order some Prazipro as it seems like a good way to get rid of any parasites on my future rays. Water params are are perfect except nitrate at around 15 PPM- 20 PPM. Is it alright if the temperature is at around 88?
 
Just feed them around 1 whole nightcrawler chopped! They ate them all just like that. I guess they just needed time and a nice dark tank. Thanks guys I hope they keep eating like this.

temp is fine for now... but you will want it to be between 78-82
 
try feeding guppies to the rays if they arent eating enough worms. there are 2 types of blood worms. the small stringy kind that looks like blackworms but red and then the big saltwater bloodworms that reach over 12 inches, use these big sbloodworm for striper fishing.
