Motoro questions

Jakob · Aug 21, 2013

3 weeks ago I bought a Motoro male, the disc is about 6-7". He eats like a champ, pellets only.

The lfs who sold it to me estimated that he was about a year old, is that correct?
How old would you estimate a 6-7" well fed, Motoro ray is?
When does he reach sexual maturity and will be able to reproduce, if i buy a female?
How fast/slow do they grow?

I'd guess he's younger than that maybe 6-9 months. They mature at 1.5-2 yrs. Disc size at 1 yr is somewhere around 12" and then will start to slow down especially for a male. Congrats on the motoro. I started with a motor as well.

it is possible that it could be a year old if it was fed very little and had bad water conditions the whole time. motoros are a awesome ray!

my buddys ray gave birth and by the time they were ready to sell a couple of the pups were already over 5 inches. i think he weened them for a month or so. so yours could possibly be 3 months old.
