Default any pellet recommendations for rays?

Am looking for pellet recommendations for rays.

Hikari sinking higrowth i think is the most economical and branded among the rest of the pellets without coloring enhancer.

The cheapest is the 1bottle type with the ST logo. tink ard 10 per bottle.
I use that to feed my monster catfish and monster gars.

Hikari sinking carnivore and Hikari Higrowth now my rays eating alright, but my friend suggesting to alternate with live food or MPs to ensure good growth. My rays are 6". I worry if start to feed other food in between, they will reject pellets.

Any advice?
