First successfull birth of freshwater stingrays in Greece!

[angelos7577]

Hello all , i am proud to announce you that at last , i achieved the first successfull birth of freshwater stingrays in Greece and specifically potamotrygon motoro marble (male) x potamotrygon motoro (female) , both with disk size around 11 inches .
At August 28th 2013 , there were born 2 beautiful male pups , a bit different one from another , they are now almost 1 month old , feeding from the second day after their birth on frozen fish and earthworms !
I bet there were only 2 pups born cause the female wasn't that big to be able and have more pups.
I was feeding the stingrays frozen fish , they breeded in 1.000 liters plywood tank and after the first signs of breeding , i removed the male and left the female alone.
The pups are now in 100 liters tank and will soon move to a bigger one.
The male was very gentle , only left 1 small bite at the female , during the breeding behavior.
I have more potamotrygon motoro stingrays and am focused on breeding them more .
Here are the first photos and videos , which i would like to share with you .

Congrats on the pups!

But didn't someone already have some P14 pups a year ago in Greece or am I wrong?

Thank you people , really great feeling , simply love these creatures !
Indeed there was a birth of p14 last year but they were premature and that's why i am talking about the first successfull birth in our country.

Mentioned it before , i know exactly what's going on with stingray births in my country , last year a store with big and mature p14 parents , managed 2 times to breed , but at both times they were born much earlier (premature) , once were eaten by parent and the next time they died.
Maybe you weren't informed about the outcome of these breeds.
So i am clearly talking about the first successfull birth , where pups were born in time , healthy and are been raised for 1 month now.
