Hey Everybody,

Just curious as I've read threads that seem that the earliest have been in 2008 about the topic. Has anyone had any luck with them? Heard they are normally wild caught thus the reason they are difficult to breed pure marbles.

I defiantly won't be able to breed or attempt rays until the larger tank is obtained, but just curious on the topic.

I think Nic had some way back.

I know there's a few guys out there that have bred them like rabbits, who knows how many litters.... ;) A bunch I'm sure.

I'm actually waiting for the 6th litter here, but my luck has been nothing shy of horrible, having more stillborn/miscarried then healthy.

Hondas3000 you have some very nice looking pups! Are the first ones hybrid? The last one is flat out amazing.

Wow great pics!!! How big are your pair or trio or how ever much you have. Also guess rays grow fast from pups to juvies then they slow down I...look very healthy!

thanks silentbob will search names to look for more info,

The one preggo now is probably around 17" maybe. There's lots of pics posted here, just have to dig em up.

They all vary as far as breeding....... Usually 12"+

No they are F1 as my pair is wild caught. When they first born its pretty dark.
