Stingray foods nutrition?

I make my own food, you can't beat it for a ballanced and convenient diet
6-8 ounces tilapia
3-4 ounces of shrimp
6 handfulls favorite pellets
2 capfulls seachem garlic gaurd
2 capfulls seachem nourish freshwater vitamins
2 cups hot water
8 packets knox unflavored gelatin
Put the pellets in the blender first and make them into powder then add and blend the rest of the ingredients to avoid over mixing and adding air bubbles which will make the food float. Pour into a caserole dish (9x13 is what I use)
Cover and refrigerate until firm. Cut into 6 even size peices freezing 5 of them and cutting the sixth into fingernail size cubes. Pull a block from the freezer and cut up as needed
Give this a try I have had great success with it and it saves a ton of time on my morning feeding ritual

... i don't have a problem with feeding. i Just want to see the best way to feed. But thanks anyways.
A high quality pellet will provide the most complete and balanced diet. A variety of protein sources is just that, lots of protein without all the other vital nutrients. I feed NLS exclusively and got the rays at the store I was running on it within a week.
oTo hit it on the head, I agree ... The homemade food posted sounds great, I might have to try this.
Please don't bump threads for 24 hours.

If the ray is eating all that stuff than you are looking good. I would add a staple, I try to get as many nls h20 wafers in mine as possible

I feed mine the following:
Krill, silversides, earthworms, bloodworms, tilapia, market shrimp, clams, mussels, octopus..
I occasionally throw in massivore, and hikari cichlid pellets (for the other fish).. but they aren't really interested. I am going to be buying carnivore, as it's smaller.
I have 7 motoros, and a flower ray.
