Pup born this afternoon

[spotfin]

My female gave birth this afternoon (99 days later). One nice little female pup, about 4" diameter. We missed the birth by about 20-30 minutes. I'll post some pics of her tomorrow. Also got a good video of the mom and dad mating, which I'll try to get on Youtube tomorrow night.

[spotfin]

Male-no. Female-pending.

[DB junkie]

Here he is.

[DB junkie]

Wow. He looks kinda small for being a dad...... LOL Guessing 10-12 inch?

Where did he come from?

[spotfin]

He is about 9-9.5" now. Was 8" and mature when I bought him. He came from a lfs.

[turkeyboy85]

she looks amazing, I need to get some marbles! lol

[DB junkie]

Then drive down here and get them......LOL

I think it is absolutly hilarious that those of us that really want Marbles can never find decent ones and are willing to pay half a grand, and those that go out and pay Motoro prices get ones that look twice as good.

You bring us all hope Spotfin!!!!!!

[turkeyboy85]

I didnt know you were selling any of yours...

[Tom500]

Very nice congratulations it looks in good health.

[vamptrev]

looks like the pups have swollen foreheads.... this normal for marble pups?

[fishfries]

CONGRATS..... thats nice

[spotfin]

looks like the pups have swollen foreheads.... this normal for marble pups?


I was wondering that too. Seems to go away as they grow.

[Tim]

beautiful rays you've got.

what kind of sand are they on?

[spotfin]

beautiful rays you've got.

what kind of sand are they on?

Thanks. The sand is Estes Ultra Reef Sand, in beige.

[abortedsoul]

Breeding motoros... wow, I am impressed. I just got my 370 gallon tank ordered (will arrive in November) and I will be getting started on raising motoros. It must be pretty awe inspiring to get to witness the life cycles of such awesome animals... grats.

[fishlover12]
