When majority of my rays were pups, night crawlers and black worms were the only thing on the menu twice a day. As they got bigger so did there appetite, worms started getting pricey for the amount they were consuming a week . I worked in raw market shrimp, talapia, silversides, silversides stuffed with pellets, which was what got them on pellets. I'm able to bulk up on talapia and shrimp for the price I was paying for black worms, and also I get a flat of night crawlers from bait store, about $58 for 500. I feed twice a day every other day ,and once in between them. in the morning they get a handfull of pellets ( hikari massivore and carnivore) with 8 chopped crawlers and at night they get a 1/2 talapia fillet, 4 silversides chopped and 8-10 raw shrimp depending on size.The days when I feed once a day they get a lil of everything at mid day. Best thing to look for to know when they had a good amont is a gut that is sticking out like they have a beer belly and there backs are raised.
