Catching baby stingrays from the 5000 gall tank

[shround]

We have just had 6 more baby Motoro. The 2 breeding females had there last babies in December and one has just had 5 more the other gave birth to one last night. I'll try and attach video I took of Jack going in for the last baby before it got eaten.

We now have 11 baby stingray in the nursery tank. They tend to breed straight away once they have given birth so we may have another 2 lots in August or September.

They are beautiful little specimens and they really colour up after a couple of months.http://www.youtube.com/v/tvZ020lEk7g&hl=en"

If you are interested in buying a tank bred baby Motoro and you are in the UK then let us know. We want them to go to good homes that will keep them and be able to house them fully grown.
A stingray isn't just for Christmas!

great job on the breeding Motoro

you may have problems selling the pups my freind was breeding motoro and he was finding it harder and harder to sell the pups as their is not a great demand hear in the UK

Very nice

You should get Practical Fishkeeping to do an article on your facility, breeding techniques, and popularity/hardiness of Motoros.. Maybe it will spark some interest!

The fact that you have to go swimming to get that little guys makes me so jealous. Doesn't even really seem far. Totally awesome!

I am amazed that the pups are not a light snack to that catfish! Great video and some updated pics would be nice!

The best photos of the tank are from a PFK article. http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/pfk/pages/show_article.php?article_id=586

I will however post some more, its quite a difficult tank to photograph.
