Here's a 2 min clip of my pregnant motoro. You can see the most movement at about 0:50. How much longer and how many pups are thinking?

I bought her preggo and the father is a motoro, not the marble seen in the video. I believ this will be her 3rd or 4th litter

I know it's not a Leo or bd but I'm trying to get into rays seriously and I'm pretty excited. She's in a 6x3 and is about 14-15" diameter.
 
First, Congrads...
Second, doesnt matter what kind of ray she is, they are all beautiful...

How long have you had her. She looks to be really close, esp if you are seeing that much movement. But with not knowing when she got preg. hard to say for sure. Could be tonight, could be 2 or so weeks.

Have you aleady made plans on were to put the little guys after they come.. Im thinking she may have at least 4.. but thats a guess

Thanks! I got her May 28, and the previous owner thought she was a month along. I guess that makes her about 8-10 wks. I do have a 75g and just got a plywood 6x3 yesterday for the pups and more rays. Got the plywood tank, sump and pump for $150!
 
good price on the tank and stuff. If you take about 20 to 30 gallons of the old water out of your ray tank, and put in your new tank, you will get it to cycle faster and there for would be ready sooner.
If she was about a month along when you got her, and you got her late May, then she would have just over a month to go still. Usually just over 3 months total. But she is big, so if she does still have a month plus, you might expect more than 4, Id say 8 or so..lol But who knows. Never can tell.
 
Looks good hopefully that marble will knock her up whn she gives birth
 
When did you first notice movement? I have noticed with mine once I see movement I usually have about 50 days left.
