Hope they breed for you mate.

Hope they breed for you! What is the size difference between the male and the females?

The female is a conservative 14-15 inches. She is a house. The other female is probably 10 -11 inches and the male is probably 8 or 9? he is very mature as far as claspers go. Very large and very rolled. We will see shortly I hope.

Hope he knocked her up. Do the rays ever try to eat the sds? I wanted to buy a few nice sds but I've heard that some peoples rays like to eat them.

My rays don't touch the fish. Lucky that way. The Hystrix are also small enough that they would have to work pretty hard to take down the SD or the Altums. I still have a few rainbow fish in there and if anything the rays would take those down but seemingly aren't interested in them
