if it eats market shrimps why would you waste your money on krill.... skip the krill and keep with market shrimps....
 
I find earthworms are a really useful food for getting my rays onto something else. Once they're eating then enthusiastically, I cut the worms into small sections, which are essentially little tubes. I then use a tooth pick to stuff other foods into the worms. I guess it's pretty gross but has worked really well for me - I've easily gotten them onto shrimp and pellets with this method. A hikari floating pellet fits right into a chopped worm like a pig in a blanket :drool:

lets bump this back up....
 
So, we went about three days without feeding our rays with the temperature in both tanks at a steady 83F. For the last two days I have fed both tanks on minced shrimp mixed with cut red worms, night crawlers and Massivore sinking pellets. So far, so good. I do believe that everyone is beginning to eat again, but the speed of consumption has not yet reached it's previous amount. Any new suggestions?
