how about the food question? can you get away with feeding them just one kind of fish. Or do you need to change it up, can/ do you soak food in some sore of vitamins ?
thinking about getting some rays

If you feed one food source the rays have a tendency to get hooked on one food and become stubborn when not offered their preferred food. I just offer a varied diet and I haven't ever done vitamin baths with rays but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt as a supplement.
what kinds of food do you feed? if i just switched different kinds of fish would that be enough? I usually have shrimp in my freezer and i can get tilapia through work for around $2 a lb. then northern. what if i also fed say pan fish, perch stuff like that. would that be enough of a selection?
I have mine on shrimp, tilapia, and worms leftover from fishing. I've never fed fish that I've caught but if you haven't had any issues with it then I'd say go for it.

told me about using an unflavored gelatin to make food but I haven't tried it yet.
Yes you can make home made food for rays. I used to make my own food for rays and aro all I used was a
1 bag of pellets,
bag of uncooked shrimp,
bag of tilapia,
2 table spoons of spiralina
2 table spoons of something else I can't remember exactly what it was
egg white
all blended together and seperated into sandwich bags keeping it about quarter incheck thick so it can be broken apart
these are the rays Im thinking of getting. $150 each both males. been state side for 8 mo. eating massivor and frozen shrimp. i have both foods already. the guy says "orange" in his discription. would you agree?
