Feeding prawns with shell to Rays?
 

Anybody here feeding prawns with the shell to their rays?
i usually peel off the shell, but was wondering if they can be fed with the shell on, but chopped to bite size.

Usually I just remove the head and tail part. The rest not remove

thanks!! :) I've been peeling the shell. will try to feed without head and tail but shell intact .

I snipe off the spike on the head before feeding.. cut into bite size n feed together with the shell..

mine can peel off itself..:p

Fussy eater.. :p

depending on the fish and the size.
Last time i left shell on, remove head...

and the shell came out in the poop and ended up at the pump (coz running on OHF) - need to clear off else choke....

thanks!! :) , will try to give shell to my rays, will cut to small bite size:)

for my big rays , they eat as is , never remove anything. they are happy to do so :)

but the smaller one i remove head and tail , rest cut into small pieces, always end up seeing the shell floating around in the tank.

thanks bro :) mine only at 10 inches i think.

Normally i will deshell all my prawns before feeding as my rays quite picky and will often leave the shell floating around in tank.

Thus to avoid all the hassle of scooping up the shell i normally just deshell the MP.

Cheers and regards

thanks :) tried feeding my rays some mp cut into small pcs but with shell on and they seem to have eaten the shell too.

Just out of curiosity, did the ray actually digest the shell? Or did it just come out as waste? I've seen some users say they leave the shell alone, and others say they eat the shell, so I'm wondering which one is considered the "normal" thing to do.

i tried with shells, my rays seem to have eaten and digested the shell too .

That would make sense. Though it kind of makes me wonder why the shell sometimes passes through...
