Motoro Question

[bobVillanueva]

I got a pair of Motoro Stingray pups last October/November at around 3.5".
The are only pushing 6-7" as we speak. should I be worried? Also, the female initially grew faster than the male but the male caught up to the female.

from April to May, they've been eating once a day but i decided to bump this up a few weeks back to twice a day.

at around 3-5", their diet was tubifex worms, now its on sardinella tawilis and small shrimp.

is this very slow by motoro standards? could they be stunted? or is this normal?

Growth seems about right. Just keep good water parameters and they"ll grow nicely

Got worried coz the sister of the male is really big now and my female remained this small.

Shouldnt it be 1" per month?

Now I'm going to ask what your tank setup is like including filtration. Rule of thumb is normally "/month when they're pups to sub-adults, but tank size and filtration/water management plays a huge role in health and growth. If the above are up to par than I wouldn't worry, though since you're concerned it doesn't hurt to look into your setup

Rays growth will also be affected by tank size.. To a certain extent. As long they grow.. It should be fine. Not all rays created equal
