Tryna get my ray off Live food

[Lhop1980]

I've had my 6-7 inch teacup ray for about 6 months now and since I've gotten him he's been accostomed to only eating live blood worms. I've tried to introduce other foods into the equation like frozen blood worms and tilapia, but he seems to turn his nose up to it. Any suggestions?

Let the dead food lay with the live food overnight, so it gets the smell. I used to mix Nightcrawlers with shrimp overnight, and it workt. It demands time, but its worth it in the end.

I thk u meant laying them in a seperate container of some sort..


usually if the ray has been with u for 6 months or so.. its ok to starve them a little bit.. they will accustom to the food provided after that.. try peel-ed market prawns.. they will take in monster pellets as well.. ur reticulated ray will probably tk some time to adjust to this.. but bear with it.. jus starve them and things will go ur way..
