Tricks to getting your rays on Hikari Pellets?
- Thread starter Miles
- Start date
also smallers rays would probally do better with sinking carnivor then as they grow move up to massivore
never seemed like much of a trick... just mixed in Massivore pellets with nightcrawler feedings, slowly leaning towards fewer nightcrawlers and more pellets
those of you that have your rays on massivore, what if any change have you seen in your rays look helthier,fatter, more active,???granted theres alot cleaner food than say worms,shrimp,anchovies,ec..thus cleaner water after feeding..but what other benefits have you found??
From what I've read and understand about pelletized food, in just about any form, is more nutritional than frozen food..
Although most frozen seafoods, like shrimp, are very high in protein and calories.. it may not be nutritionally balanced. Alot of vitamins are water soluable so feeding anything in pelletized form will pass on more nutrition. I look at Pellets more like a vitamin supplement, and probably the most nutritionally balanced staple diet.
However, raykeepers have kept rays for years without pellets mainly on a diet of varied Seafood.. but if you feed 1 thing or your ray gets picky I could see how a nutrition deficiency would arise. Try eating Cheerios your whole life..
