I just got a pair of tea cup stingray, i feed them frozen bloodworm. How do i know if they are eating or not, or if they're full yet.
 
They probably won't eat frozen bloodworms. Live Black worms are much more accepted or matter some other live worms. You'll know they are eating because they will slide over the worms and you'll see the ray kind of moving as it chews. you can tell it has eaten a good amount when the back area looks puffed up.

Thanks for the replies, I will keep my eye on them for the next few day. If they don't eat blood worm then i will go get some live black worm.
 
They will eat much bigger food than you think. Try to feed a varied diet including frozen foods and pellets.

You will soon get used to how much they eat as they stop when full, just like you. Just Hoover up any waste before it spoils. I would feed pups 2 or 3 times per day, little and often. But make sure you keep an eye on ammonia, nitrite and nitrate. Weekly water changes are the key and use dechlorinator.
