I have seen some pretty small(7-9in) sized motoros, marble motoros and SP rays that have fully matured. Will these males stay rather small? I know rays usually grow pretty fast from a small size with good food, but does the dropping of the claspers signal that he is pretty much done growing?
The reason I ask this, is because I have a friend who has a pair of motoros, both whom are roughy 10in and have already bred. He got them when they were like 4in and in a year he grew to 9in and dropped. Its been almost year since he has dropped and pretty stayed the same size.
For all of you who have rays that matured at a small size, have they grown anymore?
The only variable I have to mention, is that the rays are in a 125. Do you think the tank size has stunted their growth?
