I have a pair of flower Ray that only eat night crawler. Try everything any advice fellow Ray keeper?
 
try tilapia. squid if all else fails because squid is low in nutrients but a good treat for rays
 
mix the worms in with another food...ie...pellets, shrimp, smelt...etc...
let it soak for 15 min. Then pull out the smelt pellets shrimp or whatever u used and try that... dont give in and give them the worms.. Keep trying this it will work... if they dont give after a few days then give them a little of what they like but dont stuff them.. Then continue trying the soaking. It works but sometimes takes persistence.
 
I tried cut up fish, scallop, shrimp, worm juice. Nothing work tried to starve them but By the fourth day I felt bad and gave in on trying .
 
Yes I try squid, the bad thing is I keep the refrigerator full of fresh sea food for my self so I away have it on hand, and they only like night crawler.
 
Thanks for the reply guys I'll keep trying I was hopping that the bigger they get and the longer they been in captive that one day they will switch over to more solid food.
 
Any Luck?

No luck I soak the shrimp in chop up worms for 15 mins they jump on it as soon as they relized that it shrimp they spit it back out. Screw it I'll just keep on feeding night crawlers as long as their fat and eating a lot I'm happy.
