What Do You Feed Your Rays?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
morning feed: handful of 50/50 massivor and NLS 10mm
evening feed: lots of tilapia and smelts.
every friday evening they get jumbo earthworms.
And yes some rays do eat better than their owners and certainly in most cases cost more $$$$!!
 
We buy smelts and shrimp (raw or cooked w/e is on sale), suplemented in with red worms as i run a small business with them as well :) also in the spring we catch small pan fish and minnows that we behead gut and chop for the rays. I say spring because worms will not have developed on the fish yet. They also get market fish from time to time also w/e is on sale. As far as feeding fish would go i would say stay to fresh water stuff i think its less oily or something. but most of the time we feed the smelts and market shrimp. Though i gotta say a few times those sea food mixes look tempting but rays are suborn.
 
Ours are feed 4 times a week on Nightcrawlers ,krill ,prawn, market shrimp and silversides. Just be careful with some fish as it has a high content of oils which can cloud water and build up nitrite levels very quickly..
 
I feed my female motoro a raw tiger shrimp diet hicuri pellets shrimp pellets squid.mussels scallops and cutle fish .
And all hand feed
