Default Motoro ray not eating

Hi all,

Recently acquired 2 motoro pups from a local fish farm. Having some problem with one of the ray. The female which is smaller at around 5" eats basically anything and everything will chiong pellet. But the male one bigger at ard
6-7" wun take any food. It will juz swim pass it or sometime juz chew a few times and swim off.

It gotten quite thin and i see edi quite heart pain. Any experts here can suggest what to do to increase its appetite. I feeding krill/sea shrimp to my IT and SW to my aro and pellet to the rays. But all 3 the male take none.

Thanks n regards

hmmm GS is quite exp in the long run especially i have to feed my IT to its fullest b4 my rays ever got them. Isit a good time to train my male motoro to start taking MP? Coz it haven been eating for 1 or 2 weeks so abit worried. If so how big should the MP be?

Thanks

i feel that the rays must be fed well and eating well before u try to train them take mp.....

else u be risking it....

u can feed MP to the ITs til they full then feed Frozen GS to the rays... use the net to chase the IT away from the GS lo.... thats what i did to my tigers...
