How would an all male group of stingrays behave aggression-wise? And how would a group of all male but different spec. behave? ... What I'm looking for is if there would be room for more stingrays if the group is all male, I don't care about breeding them...

Thx :D

x2. I keep all males together and have no problems. Watch out for chewing on the claspers as a sign of potentially not working. Generally speaking males are x10 times better to other males than females. I'm speaking adults, for pups and young ones it doesn't matter at all.

so about sexual maturity? At what percentage of their adult size can I expect it to begin?

That would depend upon the species you are referring to. Some mature faster than others. Henlei will take x3 longer to mature than a motoro, for example. In general assume 2 years of age and after the 12" range for most males. Again this varies greatly.

What matters is the claspers. Once the claspers on the male are fully rolled, it is mature. Some can be surprisingly small in size when this happens and others not so much.

Cool, welcome. If you have a source on pure henlei you should jump on it while available. There aren't a lot out there at a reasonable price.
