Woke up to 2 pups. 1 male 1 female. They are so freakin' adorable I can't even believe it. They are about 3 1/2".
Here are some pics

The baby girl has some areas around her mouth and edge of the disc that look like there is blood just under her skin.. is this normal? She doesn't look like she has been bitten or anything and the baby boy doesn't have it at all...

Looks like the male got stabbed pretty good at some point.. I don't know if he got her pregnant again or not.. guess the waiting game begins all over again? He is breathing and acting normal so hopefully it will heal up without a problem.. you can see the other 2 stabs he has gotten on each side of his gills. The one on the left side is from about a week ago(he must have known she was about to pop) and the one on the right side is from about 3 months ago(probably when she got pregnant) :screwy:

Congrats on the new pups. The female pup may be irritated by the sand, keep an eye on her. Looks like the male got in trouble, he will be fine though.

How big are the parents?
 
Congrats!! tehy are so adorable!! I can not wait till I can get a pair of these guys when my big tank gets completely up and going, what would you say is a good ray for a beginer ray keeper, I have been into fish for over 20 years now.
