Was watching my female up close the other night as she was back to, and near the front of the tank and actually sitting still. I could see two little flutters on both sides. so glad she pulled through the disaster from a few weeks ago and held on to the pups. They mated at the end of May, so should have some pups around October/November.

Cool Jason. My pups are starting to eat everything. Don't know if my male got the deed done again, but his claspers both got infected by something. He's in a hospital tank right now.

Thanks all. Jim, glad your pups are doing well. Hope your male gets better.

For hystrix breeders, do your rays mate immediately after the female gives birth? Mine don't. They mate again several months later, typically in the spring time.
