Maybe I’m not feeding it right, but it’s taming speed drains so fast that you would need infinite prime raw fish meat tame it.
Basilosaurus
The Basilosaurus is a dolphin-like creature that primarily dwells along the shallow areas of the ocean. It has the ability to keep survivors warm or cool.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Basilosaurus in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Ok so use a Ichthyosaurus because mantas megs and basically everything ignores you so people dont die to the manta cult it has
My tribe used the basilo for bringing materials to area far away into ocean with the help of baryonyx we we then able to build a floating city on the water
Basilo good for weight health and damage
If there is one with a lot of mantas around it you can use a baryonx get the mantas attention and bring them away to stun them then you can use it or something else (we used a lvl20 megalodon) to kill them all then just trail and feed the basilo until it is tamed
Normally a bunch of mantas spawn neer it so be ready
I just tamed one and now I have slow but unlimited supply of oil
If you want a lot of oil you can just tame 4-5 of these guys they are easy to tame
Tanks they tank. If you boosted hp a lot then your set. Also they and a good dps to and a oil farm.
Kill these with mosas, you will get 1000 oil easily if you do so.
These babies right here are like heaters, if u wanna have a nice big buddy share their warmth, this Dino is for u.

Tamed and domesticated:basiliosaurus will be your personal guard in the water he will be a giga chad killing megs I tried that it’s amazing easy fish meat. That’s all you need to know!
DO NOT GO TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN WHEN INFINITESTATS IS ON because it will instantly die when you go to the bottom of the ocean because it has a crush depth
They can spawn in the middle of herb island
Trust me, as good as the mosa and the plesiosaur looks, the basi is better don’t waste your time taming trashy tames
I found 2 of these things near my base and I tried to go near it but it constantly went away. This thing really didn't like me lol.
The regen is insane the abilities are insane(being able to disregard any ocean critters specil attacks) and its stam is great
I tamed one that is like lv40 and kills every other thing
If you find one, bring a bunch of your sharks with you if its surrounded by manta. Bait the manta to follow you, then let your sharks kill them. Now you tame it
Tame bar was going down real quick once It hot 50%,i was feeding it the same food and everything
They also gather loads of chitin and keratin

First step: KILL THE MANTAS!!! THEY WILL EAT YOUR FRIEND…
Hi guys! Today I’m gonna teach u how to tame a fat dolphin. It has a strange way to tame because it’ll have little flat baked bread around it.( A.K.A manta) with that out of the way, let’s get started!😆
First step: KILL THE MANTAS!!! THEY WILL EAT YOUR FRIEND ALIVE!!!!( just kill them) if u punch da dolphin then the mantas attack u but then u won’t hurt future friend! 🐬
Second step: bring scuba 🤿 gear. They take forever to eat. So before you feed it, u might want to enclose it in some gates.(I recommend stone is da best)
Third step: he is your friendly neighbor aquatic and will require a saddle. Other than that, he’s yours!!!
Quick note to remember: if u want this guy faster on mobile only, I recommend using smoothing or bathing balm on it which can be accessed by tribute to obelisk from a artifact.( except bathing balm, u need to pay for that with amber.)
