First batch of Motoro pups!!! Born 7/6

[Big Daves Rays]

Born this evening. Went out to the fish room for the night feeding and found these 3 little guys swimming around in the tank. 2 males and one female. They have a ton of spots which surprises me due to the fact that who I thought the father was, may not be, but he was the first one to mount her as soon as she went back in with the big rays. All of them seem to be doing great. One of them has a slight bend in its tail but I'm hopeful it will correct itself. The first 3 pictures are of each individual pup. Again notice all the spots.

more pics of the babies.....

These 2 pictures are of the holding tank for the pups so the psycho males don't kill them. I've had it plumbed in to the main system for just an occasion like this. I keep discus in there usually but they go in the main tank with the smaller rays that can't eat them. I want to keep the pups separate but not in a totally different tank with different water parameters.

I love your rays!! What size tanks do you have?

 

[Big Daves Rays]

I have 2 450's. Each one is 6ft x 6ft x 20" tall. I had them made for me by TruVu. I went with those instead of 4x8's because you get 4 extra sq. ft. for the rays to swim in. Right now I have 10 rays not including the pups.
