1. What food do rays eat

Rays can eat small fish, shrimp, loach, red worms, sea worms, bread worms, red worms, etc. These foods are rich in nutrition and can meet their food needs. If there is not enough live bait, you can also choose to feed some frozen bait.

Stingray is a lively fish, so it should be fed at least once a day. If you have time, it is best to feed it 2-3 times a day. However, the amount of feeding should not be too much each time, and it is enough to feed 70% every time. Stingray's mouth is relatively small, and the food it feeds should not be too big. Normally, a 40 cm ray has a mouth of only 2-3 cm, so the food to be fed should be chopped up. In addition, they are bottom fish, and the best food to feed is sinking feed.

Second, what should rays do if they don't eat

There are many reasons why rays don't eat. For example, when they are frightened, they will stop eating. At this time, breeders need to keep their surroundings quiet and wait for them to recover on their own. In addition, when they arrive in the new environment, they will have more discomfort, so their eating state will not be very good. Breeders need to keep the environment stable and try to feed them after they adapt. Also, when the water quality is too poor, it will also affect their appetite and cause them to stop eating. At this time, the water should be changed regularly, and a circulating filtration system should be installed to keep the water quality clean.
