Separate. Floating basket. Need to isolate for feeding along with possible mauling from adult Ray's. From research not personal experience obviously.

Yes yes yes separate. It’s important that you do not let them out of the water when separating. If you can build a cheap floating tub that will be the easiest way to do it. Congrats!!

Looks great! Make sure you have something tied on to the tub to keep it floating. Empty bottles with a cap can keep it upright. They will seem still and being safe but it’s way better than the alternative. I’ve lost pups leaving them in for only a couple hours.

Congrats again. I can see the mantilla blood in the pups. It’s strong

Thanks Justin but I’m curious what’s the concern with seperating them. Everyone does it but they were fine no one messed with them till I moved them they look stressed

In my experience when pups are left with the two parents it can be hit or miss if they get mauled. Adult rays that aren’t the parents and the risk goes up significantly. It doesn’t take them being injured but after being chewed on they succumb to the stress.
