Vitamins for rays

[MEDHBSI]

I want to start soaking my prawns/smelts so my Rays are getting all the vitamins they might not be getting from there food. I tried searching on the site but it's not working for some reason. I'm looking for good soaking vitamins/how much/how often. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Boyd brand vitachem. I inject with hypodermic needles into the thawed food. I found soaking seemed to lose a lot of the product before they would actually swallow it. I supplement twice a week. If they eat pellets weekly is OK. If they don't eat pellets then supplement more often.

I give them pellets all the time. I never thought about possible vitamins in the pellets. Carvivour sinking is what they get.

Then maybe just supplement when feeding foods that contain thiaminaise. Shrimp, smelt, etc.

I don't see a point in soaking the pellets as they're already fortified.

I wouldn't worry about vitamins so much. I would just give them a varied diet consisting of whole fish, clams, mussels, prawn, etc.. My feelings are when you feed them a "whole" unit, you will be giving them their proper vitamins and nutrient vs. giving them something like a headless gutted smelt. I like to feed whole units because they will be getting the heart, liver, brains, well you get the picture..

Just read the package ingredients.

You can get creative and add seafood to the mix. This is the gel formula I use but they have a pill formula too.
