Just wondering to those out there with male flowers (schroederi) and tigers, how big the claspers are on your males and how large the males are? I'm curious what size these guys have to be to start maturing.
 
all the tiger rays that bred were well over 20" disk... my male is 14" and no where near mature... flowers i would say would be the same...
 
I've heard of females dropping pups at 16 inches......
 
DB - are you talking true flowers (schroederi), or Peruvian flowers? I haven't heard of any people personally that are breeding true flowers.
 
Tiggers.......

i thought tigers had been bred in captivity twice.? also thought they were 30" plus disc size??
 
I can NOT verify since the ray was not mine. From what I've been told she was shipped to a guy out in Cali that verified it had indeed given birth.

there are 4 or 5 people known to have bred tigers only one in the states is shedd... ive never heard of tigger's breeding in cali...
 
DW bred his tigers but the pups didnt live and/or were stillborn

They were NOT captive bred. A prego wild caught was verified to have given birth at roughly the size of 16 inches....... Supposedly verified by "the man" out in California. Just passing along the info......
