wow I can't believe how many of you can feed once a day or even every second day. Like vamptrev my rays start getting really aggresive and nippy with each other or if there are tankmates in the tank they may go missing or killed if not fed twice daily.
How often do you feed your rays?

I feed twice a day pellets on mornings and prawn, squid , mussles , whitebait , earthworms , or what i have at the time at night . I dont feed at all wednesdays
i feed every day .. or every other day .. big feedings .. i mix up worms, smelt, talapia chunks, shrimp, silver sides, and blood worms ... and i think im going to start tossing in some pellets to try to get them on that at some point
clean out everything they didnt eat the next day along with and crap thats in the sand .. and i do 50% worth of water changes a week .. 25 and 25 or 50 all at once .. i have good tap water but it stresses out the dats if i do all 50 at one time ..
dats and rays are extreamly active (rays likes to swim in the bubbles and in the current of the Fx5 most of the day) and dats are really stable ..

after i can get them on the pellets i will go to 2x a day .. and the night time will be the mix of food .. just less of it .. and the morning will be pellets

UPDATE!!!!! Curious how that male is turning out!!! His bro really colored up a bunch, but seems to be growing really slow.
I tried twice daily but the same rays kept pigging out, so I went to one big feeding a day and then skip a day during the week..... This way it seemed the smaller less aggressive rays got a better chance to eat after the piggys are done.
Pups I try to get twice a day.
Feedings on the weekends tend to be a bit bigger or more frequent.
Mine are fed twice a day i throw in 100 gram of frozen bloodworms in the morning, the lights are off till i get home from work then they get shrimps/sand eels and anything else i find on speical offer down the asian supermarket. Also i have quaranteened fish swimming around to keep them active, W/C 50% a week
