If this is the case, you must be in the running for youngest rays ever to hit maturity. The youngest to reach maturity that I have personally heard of has been about 3 years old

Are you sure thats not aggression from being in too small of a tank? The size of male's claspers are a good judge of maturity. It usually takes 3-5 years before rays mature.

3-5 may be true for a retic but not any of the others.

Both r fully rolled and several inches long.......I dont believe it to be aggression as they go through the process of attempting to get under the female

Sounds like your rays are going to pay you back a bit with pups! Seems like the tank moving went well!, cant wait for more!
