if ur ray remains calm slowly bring ur hand to the bottom of ur tank, usually the ray will recongnise the food and come towards ur hand's direction once ur ray touches ur hand place the food under near mouth at this point of time u can feel thier strong suction from their mouth thats all HANDFEEDING RAYS only advantage is it can bring the keeper very close to thier rays DISADVANTAGE is ur ray will get too pampered and only feed from hand(this happened to me but i dont mind i enjoy handfeeding them)

Sounds like a pro to me

SO Far i manage to bring to close to the MP that i use. I realise one thing is that if you have fear, the rays can fear your fear and stay frighten too

Slowly and a few attemp has to be make to be sucessful

Of cos basic observation has been done. My tank height is low so the possiblity is there.

Thanks for your highlight.

good advices thot!

but when rays are really hungry you dont hand feed them they will still eat isn't it?

hahaha yah that was wat i thought but they usually will do chin ups when they are hungry but when i throw in the MPs they still dont eat maybe its because that when i handfeed i tend to press the MPs until the flavour comes out

wow. awesome.
