Feeding A Stingray

[momun]

Hello Folks,
I never had a stingray and I have had him for 2 days now im not sure if he is eating. My question is how do I get him to eat and what should I feed him. He is about 3 inches wide and 6 inches long or more. Any advice would be great.

Why would you not find out what a stingray eats before</em> you bought him?

 

[momun]

I did and he eats krill, but as of today I did not see him eat any.

+1 but... that's behind you now....
From my reading (Aquarium Sharks and Rays by Scott W. Michael) most rays should be feed daily. You should feed several types of food to better mix the nutrients you are providing.
I get my fresh seafood from the grocer to cut down on cost.
I have never owned a ray or shark and am only trying to put out a little info from a book I read. I hope you get the information you need, and I hope the ray makes it.

Thanks Frantz
