I am not going to get into breeding... yet. :nilly: but for the motoro ray, whats the best combo to have for successful breeding?

1 male 2 females?
2 males 1 female?
1 male 3 females?
1 male 1 female?
other?

also when the pups are born, can they be housed with the parents?
 
More females then males, Seperate pups, adults can bite and kill the pups, Also its best to seperate so you can make sure the pups are eating as well
 
i know of people with 2 males 1 female... 3 males 5 females and any other combo you can think of.... all you really need is one pair, Pristine water, swimming space and good foods... if they are gonna breed they will breed
 
I prefer one male to a group of females at one time. Much easier to track genetics of the offspring so I'm able to avoid inbreeding later on down the line. With two males in a breeding group, you'd never know who the father is.... and there's always the idea that one female can be impregnated by two males at once.
