Motoro female pregnant or just big butt?

[Aquaman6]

I'm wondering if any of the experts with more experience could tell if my ray could be pregnant. A month or so ago, my male nipped her disc once. I just thought he was just being aggressive on her but the past few weeks, she seems to be growing a lot of junk in her trunk. They are the only occupants of the tank and have been for awhile. She is about 10 inches and the male is about 11. Thanks for any input.

P.S. Sorry about the sand she has sticking to her. Of course she felt the need for a sand bath when I was trying to get a picture.

Not the best view but I would say there is a good chance she is pregnant.

What would be a better view to get a better idea? Sideways? Thanks for the reply.

Ya side view would be better

Hopefully these show her a little better.

 

[millerkid519]

I would say yes

Looks like it to me

Awesome! Thanks guys. Is there any way to estimate how far along she is judging by the picture? I never saw a plug or worn claspers on my male, just that one bite on her outer disc. I'm pretty sure I can see the pups moving in there which is what prompted me to post cause I wasn't sure if this was just in my head.

Here are a few more pictures hopefully for a better look. She makes it really hard to get a picture because the minute I approach the tank she starts begging for food. Lol

If you see pups moving she's got to be pretty far along right? Take that with a grain of salt because I've never bred but it makes sense to me.
