Finally Frøya gave birth!

[eriken]

Thank you very much for the kind comments. Yes, Frøya is my pride and joy!

Congrate bro... lovely mum u got there... btw just wondering is it safe to keep the pups with mum.. I have heard that bigger ray tend to eat the pup's... sorry about this lousy question as I am a newbie here

I know there is a risk of larger rays eating pups. I isolated the female from the other rays a week before she gave birth. I made the film as soon as I discovered the pup and then took out the female.

the female is unreal.
its hard to describe it but it looks like it should have flames coming off of it.
i would have called her fire and brimstone.
i cant wait to see this pup..what does the dad look like?

Thank you very much for the comment. Dad (Loke) is I nice bloke to! On top in the photo. You can see more pictures of the pair in my signature link “New marbles – can’t stop looking!”

Very nice pair. I like Marbles on light colored substrate. Seems to bring out their color.

Thank you for the comment on the female. She has grown from 22cm to 32cm (8.6 to 12.6 inches) since I got her in Mars 2010. I am very happy that she has kept a very light and clean pattern. She has more marbling, but she still a very nice contrast.

She is a true looker, thats for sure.

Has er growth slowed down?

 

[eriken]

I think she had a slow growth all the way. The pair was about the same size when I got them. I wanted the female to be the larger one, so I have fed her twice as much as the male. Still after two years she is only slightly larger than the male.
