My female aparicio ray got pregnant right after she gave birth in late February. I figured she would give birth sometime in July but I was off by a month.
The funny thing is, my wife and I have 2 young kids so we never go to concerts anymore, but we were out Sunday night, and the babysitter texted my wife and said 'your stingray just had 5 babies'. So, of all the nights I sit by the tank watching tv hanging out, it had to be the one of the rare nights we go out and the babysitter gets to see them being born.
Anyway, the 5 pups are healthy and doing great. I didn't check fully, but I can tell from size color and pattern that there are 4 females and one male.
For some reason my e-mail didn't come through with the pics. I'll try to get them together and update the thread tomorrow, but here is a teaser pic. And I've separated the mother with the pups so she doesn't get pregnant so quick this time.
