The tank she is in is a 300, but filling up their new home right now. She is about 18"-19" across.

That is the best video I have seen of a Stingray giving birth and I have seen more than a few, well done for capturing such footage.
Pups look super healthy also.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!!! That would have been soooo cool to see in person! You stingray people sure are lucky to witness this on a regular basis. The pups are adorable, how big were they (roughly) at birth?

Thank you sir! I was very fortunate to have caught it and hope people enjoy it. I assumed they came out head first, boy was I wrong.

Regular basis not so much... This is an uncommon occupancy to actually witness. I've had several litters, but have never actually seen it occur. I usually just keep checking and all of a sudden they are there.

It depends on the litter. I've had them as small as about a 2.5" diameter and as large as maybe 4". This litter was larger on average and were closer to the 4" mark.

Man, if I had the chance to see that in person I'd camp out beside my tank until it happened, leaving only when I couldn't hold my bladder any longer, then running back!
Wow, they're smaller than they look in the video, that's adorable!
