I have 2 male (10 inch) and 2 female motoros (12inch) in a 270G 6x3x2. The males have both recently matured. They keep going after one of the females and nipping her sides and edges of her disc. She curls her tail trying to show them the business end but they just don't do anything but nip her. I am a bit concerned if it goes on too long it'll hurt her but I have been told once she is prego they will stop. I can move them around to other tanks if I have to but I would like some pups. Any advice would be great.
Questions about male Motoros that just keep trying but can't figure things out
- Thread starter Totroc3
- Start date
Try separating the females from the males for a week or so, then introduce them back into the tank. Try this a couple times. Above all else, be patient, be patient, be patient. It will all work out. -FM
If its the males first time then it might take them a little to get the deed done
As long as they dont stress out the female too much u will be fine
Deff a good idea to seperate like firemedic said. The males will be more excited to see her, they might breed her faster

sounds like they are trying to breed her.... Get ready once rays are mature, they will look chewed up all the time. It is normal... may have to separate if it gets out of hand.
