Big batch of 21 pups

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
sorry for the delay, kinda forgot i posted this LOL

being fed whitebait and prawns. 1kg of prawns in the morning and up to 2.5kg of whitebait throughout the rest of the day. Fed up to 4 times a day, feed them til they are chewing and spitting it out. Then clean up all the large scraps, my is a polygeyser and can break down the small particles no probs. I use a YSI Professional Plus water quality meter and can measure my water quality and log the data, for multiple systems. Measures Temp, pH, Conductivity, TDS, Salinity, DO, Ammonium, nice toy but not cheap. Water change 80% once per week. Temp pretty high, its summer here, 29-30 degrees. DO is near saturation. WC checked at least daily if not morning and night.

The first pics are of the female that had the 21 pup litter, although the pics do not show the pregnancy of the 21 pups, I didnt take any while she was pregnant. She is recovering nicely but is still a bit beaten up and doesnt want her pic displayed to you perverts while she is looking like sh*t :)

Where the tubs are situated, i have to get in and scrub down the walls, I only do this when the water is low during a water change. Never had a prob, they just slowly move towards me and gently touch my toes, I also dont let anyone else in the room while i do this. I had someone knock the tub once and they all freaked and shot around like giant air hockey discs around my legs.

and last a pic of some tanks used to growout fancy goldfish

Mumma is about 70cm across the disc, dads about 40cm. As for age I cannot be certain as I bought her when she was already breeding age. I know who the different owners were and what shop they were originally bought from and at best can put her age between 4 and 6 years. She was in a 2x2 meter tub with other adult motoro's and got hammered overnight. The damage was pretty bad, I moved the other rays out to give her some space and she didnt eat for 3 days then this. I have bred alot of motoro's am aware that they dont eat before birth but I didnt think she was due yet and I thought she was going to die. Will try get some pics of the parents tomorrow, its easier on WC day.


wow im sure you have a very mature ray. 35" ray.
i bet that as they get older and more sexually mature, they will produce larger litters.

You must not have seen Tom's (I think it was him?) video of his gf sitting in a tank in a bathing suit, with their rays crawling all over her.

To the OP, awesome rays! That one girl is a fatty!
