Blue Dot Stingray

Dive_Master · 08-15-2001, 06:06 PM

Any takes care of blue dots. I have one, but he does not want to eat anythign other than ghost shrimp.

How do I get him to eat other foods. Everyone that I talk to says they are difficult to feed. This guys eats like a pig, but nothing other than the shrimp.

Help! This is gettign expensive.

Wow...what a sense of urgency for that guy to edit his post and fix a mistake which he didn't even make!

Even if he had did say reefland by mistake would it be all that bad? Sounds like some are ready to quarter this guy!

What else have you triedto feed him? Stingray's in general are usually scavengers too, have you tried cocktail shrimp? Krill?
IF you live near the coast, you might want to go get some bait shrimp (buy them live), they are bigger, just as cheap (should be, anyway) and they'd fill him up better...

I tried:

Squid, Shark Formula, Krill, Formula 1, Silversides and Ghost shrimp.

He looks at the krill , gets over it, but will not try it. He wants to eat the Ghost shrimp.

I am going to go broke if he does not eat soemthing else.

you might try seafood stores, there might be some oriental markets that have live shrimp or crabs. Live clams might be something to try too. Something I found was this site http://www.sharksandshells.com He might be able to supply you with some smaller blue crabs, etc. You might try hand feeding the live shrimp then pull a switcheroo.
