Some of you may have ready my other post as a Beginner ray keeper. While having water quality issues still i am dealing with it. Rays eat every day but water still not getting much better. purchased some stability from kens to counter this, but wont come in until next week... But my rays are comfortable.
So I got 2 large marbled motoros. Male is about 10-12 inches in diameter with rolled claspers. Female is about 12-14. Female is noticably bigger. im just eyeballing. Noticed My Male is getting a bit frisky pushing her to the corner near the current. Female just aint having it lol... but I dont cockblock the male. I let him do his thing.
So i have a couple questions:
1. How do i know when a female is pregnant?
2. How long does it normally take for a pup to be born (give or take)?
3. What do i do when it is pregnant?
4. Should i still get some tankmates with the rays (was thinking either - Silver Dollars, Tinfoil Barbs, Geophagus)
If i could get some tips it'd be really really helpful.
