Teacup Ray Feeding

Xmant · 25-12-2013, 10:24 PM

Need some advices from the experts. What did you feed your teacup stingray pulp?

Mine at 4" ...got from c328. Too young to starve and train pellet or watever.
Thus I ask they say feed FRozen blood worms at shop.

To prevent FBW to be eaten by aro and FF,
I bought a transparent tube, I suction pump feeding stick.

Once I defrost the FBW, I drop it thru the clear tube to base, by then my teacup will be waiting at the base of tube to suck it all up.

Oo not sure the suction pump feeding thing term call...

It's usually the worker there use to pick up FBW from the bowl ....
More like a test tube pump those kinda. 50cts for that plastics thing.

Clear tube is those normal thin wall long tube cut to length ur self.

Yep... Search internet on that, it's correct. Easy to use .

tS , u have to find out what it previous feed in. Either from where u buy or whom u bought.
Then pump up a bit eg like 7-8" more adult , then starve to train on others...

Mine is about 2.5 inches only. Still very small. That lfs told me that he fed it with MP. Tried, but with no response. Noticed mine did well with tubifex worm and small shrimp. For sure, I treated my tubifex worm before feeding them.

The pipettes are not expensive. You can get it from artfriend. It comes in a pack of 10 or so for a few bucks. I used that to liquid feed my marine tank.
