Hello -
I just got a ray, a small teacup, yesterday. He seems very healthy and active, he ate bloodworms readily at the fish store. He's scooting all over the tank, climbing up the walls, and REALLY loves burying himself completely in the sand so only his eyes and a tiny bit of his tail are visible. However, when i've tried to feed him bloodworms, both last night and this morning, he doesn't seem at all interested. I know a healthy ray should always eat, but is this just adjustment? Should I try other foods, like maybe small pieces of shrimp or nightcrawlers? What if he doesn't eat those?
