breeding motoros

[keepinfish]

Is it possible to bread rays in a 220 gallon...if your width is 30"?

I have heard that the width plays a factor in breading is this true?

At what size are they normally mature?

I had a pair of 14inch motoros breed in my 210 7x2x2. But they were the only fish in the tank. bare-bottom. and super clean water, water changes 3 times a week, and feed two times aday. Males can mature at 7 inches.. some males can take up to 14inches. females can be ready around 12inches. but could have a small litter. plus could push out the pups to soon.

How can you tell when they are mature?

The male will have long rolled claspers. The female will let the male know when she is ready. Its a good idea to have a smaller male. Cause the male with hit the female hard. Just make sure to keep clean water. and feed hard.
