questions about pregnant rays

[jwong1024]

Other than movement, what are other giveaways that your female ray is preggo? I just got a 10in WC female motoro. She has a pretty big belly and shows that JLO booty. I am starting to think she is preggo. :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

nice!, take a pic of her, 10" is a little small for a pregnacy but its not unheard of

Shes 10in pushing 11in. From the pics she looks like a white triple spot motoro. :grinno: I am loving her more and more each day. I would love for her to be preggo too. Then I won't have to find her a mate. Here are some pics from a few minutes ago. She is very camera shy.

was this after or before feeding? she def is a looker, nice tripple spots

[jwong1024]

I feed everyone twice a day, she gets one whole market shrimp and 2-3 cut up night crawlers each feeding. This was maybe 2 hours after I fed her.

what do you mean finding her a mate? isn't she with a mate already that's why she is pre? To me its look like she is having a full meal. Usually you will see a bite mark on the female when they interact.

tought to tell... in about a month you should see movement .... with a ray that small it would most likly be only one pup

[jwong1024]

I have only had her for a week. I am thinking her got preggo before she got to me. Either in the wild or when in captivity. I know its a long shot, but I have heard stores about recieving a pregnant ray. I just started thinking about it after reading someones thread about separating a breeding pair.

yeah its happened once to a seller I know. A wild caught female motoro gave birth to a premature pup a days after she arrive and the belly is still big so a few days later she gave birth to another healthy pup. But she is at 12" though. So cross your finger and pay attention to the belly before the feeding, it should be bigger not smaller cheer.

I am crossing my fingers, but are there any other details that giveaway that shes preggo?

[turkeyboy85]

not really..... increased apitite, but since you would have got her preggers who knows

Where are the other 9 motoro rays? Must see pics

[jwong1024]

10 inch female motoro, not 10x motoros LOL I wish I would have gotten that many. I would have no room for all of them.
