Default Rays - Bullfrog Diet

How many of the bros here include bf into their ray's diet? I just tried on my rays and only some of them are taking the bf. Can really swallow them and the hump become bigger. Some still trying out and not swallowing the bf.

As the bf are floaters, I did what most endies keeper will do. Freeze the bf and then make them sink to the bottom so that the rays can "capture" them.

Actually these bf are left overs from my arowana feeding. Not the gaint one but the small type of bf of 1 inches plus.

Ya. Provided the bf dive down. In another case is those very active rays will do chin up and hunt for food near the surface.

I guess basically they will accept anything given to them provided they like the diet. But mine are mainly on sinking pellet diet and occasionally sutchi fillet.

I want to try on mine and see if I can super pump them up with this diet. But will try on alternate days first or once every 3 days.

if want to pump.... MP still the best.....frog will have bones and difficult to digest. If cannot digest, ray will perish. Second water must be nice... then ray can grow fast... not entirely on food

I'm just exploring into new diet for my rays. Mine aint very small and the bf used not very big either. And the extra calcium from the bone may be good for the rays.

My previous PDR comm do hunt for the BF i threw in for the XB but they were not very big then about 10-11" so can only swallow those 1" ones the bigger BF were shred to pieces and only the flesh eaten leaving the skin behind. I can see they really like the taste of BF flesh then
