Get trout worms...sometimes called red worms/wrigglers. Should be available at any bait shop. Rays love them and they are good at fattening up a ray cause they are cheap and healthy! After they eat them up go for nightcrawlers. In my experience its easier to get a ray by on a new food by using smaller pieces then moving on up to larger pieces.

I feed my rays bloodworms, blackworms, earthworms and carnivore sinking pellets and all are taken well by the rays. Though mine seem to be partial to eating blackworms eating whenever their introduced to the tank.

Can you order bulk worms from a bait shop? Red wigglers might be hard to come by in the UK but you should be able to get the euro version of the night crawler, dirt cheap.

I have found red wrigglers multiply very fast. I use standard styro fish boxes with a hole in the bottom covered by mesh. For substrate I used potting soild, peat and a bit of sand (I just mixed till it looked good...). I fed the worms high quality fish flake. Before I knew it was I had worms everywhere! Funny thing is, the first time I did it, I wasnt even trying to breed them!
