everytime we change diet,all fishes including aro,monsterfishes will take certain time of trying before they are accustomed to new food when most of my ray friends started to convert to kunning because much cheaper,in fact I resisted,because my rays big or small,all behave the same as yours,i cannot bare to see them starve but when mp price keep going up,i gave up and force myself to change to kunning grad the no ray die during the conversion period |

Think with almost all fish best way to pump is small but more frequent portions.3-5 times a day is good... but in reality with work how to feed 3 to 5 x. So I only feed twice a day.. but even that sometimes screw up.. eg if I come home late I feed more but when I feed next day at usual timing be4 work they're not as hungry n eat less.. n as a result after work they wan to eat more again etcetc... endless cycle lol

Bro if u can add in 1 or 2 more food will be gd. Like fish or shell fish. Diff type of fishes do diff wonders...... hope it helps.
Further I need to emphasise that food is only part of keeping a ray healthy. There r Many other factors also....... |

I am here just to share my experience, my comments hv no intension to be sarcastic, haolian, pin pt at anyone, or watever. Honestly, after many yrs of breeding rays, I am still learning & cfm not even 70% confident. Those tat wan to be sensitive, nothing much I can do.
Let me share a real life exp regards to one of my BD breeder frd. He had ard 40 to 50 adults BDs. 1st 2,5 yrs, his rays r doing v well & breeding like mad, sound like super healthy Rays right??? However, there is something which I do not agree with him on wat he is doing. But his rays r doing v well, so I just go along. Unfortunately, after 2.5yrs, he suddenly lost 10 big fm within 2 weeks. We r v sad abt it but nothing much we can do but try to identify wats the issue. Moral of the story is, they may look healthy, behave healthy, but they r not healthy. This is wat I meant abt "wat is a healthy ray"??? I myself also lost rays occasionally, so how??? We learn as we move on and we share our knowledge. If one is super confident in one own method, then pls just continue & we are very willing to learn. However, if those method we had tried & it dont wk, then other wise.

They r just too delicate and fragile, thats y many quit breeding after few yrs cos no $$ to make, (Exclude those hm breeders that hv few rays as they do not really factor in all the cost involved) |
