how to trigger breeding??

I had a female moroto breed at 10.5 inches. When they reach maturity really depends on the individual ray. Just my experience.

I agree individuals mature at different times. Rays are like people.
Remember being a kid in school and seeing some of your female classmates maturing and you like . Then as you stand there you look down at the front of your pants and are like

My male motoro is mature...swolen claspers, 10" diameter. My female is 11", i have not noticed any signs of breeding yet, temp is 80-82 degrees feeding a massivore and hikari gold diet with occasional shrimp. My male after feeding will beat the female up a little...never leaving any marks or damage, and then go back searching for food. How could i help push them into breeding? DO you think maybe my female is just not mature?

Sorry to bring up this old thread.

I am rather curious what u mean by swollen claspers. Do u mind if u can post some pics? Or anyone here has pics of a horny ray?

swollen claspers mean he is starting to mature, here is my male motoro at 8"

They swell up a little and the opening in the clasper starts to roll and open. like this......
