hey, this is her first litter mom is a marble motoro and is approx 18 disc and dad is a minnie marble motoro, she was due on the 13 of july with the spawning occurring 3 months prior to the 13. At this point in time still plenty of pup movement. Just concerned about loosing time i don't want to loose mom or the pups. water parameters are good water changes every 5 days. she's had a few days where she hasn't eater her beastly amount of food. How long have you guys let your rays carry for ?

G george09 rays usually give birth around the 120 day mark sounds like you are just thinking a little early for the birth to happen

My last hystrix litter was just over 200 days. She will give birth when she is ready.
