I have a male marble motoro ray that is 8 inches in diameter and 18 months old. I was wondering how old or what size do they have to be in order to breed?

Allot of the marbles seem to take a good while to mature. Specially the mini marbles. Also if you have females they will mature and grow claspers faster in that way.

Mini just means small and 8" at 18 months qualifies. My male marble started breeding at 15 months (female had pups when he was 18 months). Shot of his claspers?

DIDYSIS was trying to say if you have a female stingray in there with him he will mature faster if im not mistaken.

LOL, More or less he does not have claspers, Yes its a male but not even close to ready for anything.

And as I was saying before, when you add a female into a tank with a male his claspers will grow larger faster. But that male is far off from breeding.
