Does anyone know if there is a certain time of the year that rays mate? durring the rainy season??? I went downstairs to see my male leo chasing my newest motoro around. After finding my female leo with a sperm sack in her last nite this would be all three of my females pregnant if he catches her. Anyone think there is something that tells them now is the time to mate?
Mating season?
- Thread starter turkeyboy85
- Start date
I think i read somewhere it is during the high water time bc of all the rain but im not completly sure.
lol, they are feeding on shrimp right now, my water at my parents house is softer then my water at school that could have something to do with it
It would make sense for there to be a breeding season. Especially within the next few months.
The rainy season in the Amazon lasts from November to March.
Once the rainforest is flooded it becomes rich and teeming with life and remains that way for the few months following.
The timing matches up so that the babies would be born into a time of plenty.
If I am not mistaken, March if not April was right around when Mike @ H20 had the massive birth of all those Leo pups.

hmmm, that puts off my timing a little bit, as mine would be giving birth come sept (mid rainy season)
You have to figure in the wild, they have a natural day/night cycle. This could help their "internal clocks" time when it is best to breed. The light cycles we provide in captivity rarely match those in the wild. So it in theory could easily throw off a rays natural breeding cycle, assuming they have one.
Does sunlight penetrate the room you keep your rays in by any chance?
Do you use a light on your aquarium?

it does now...... big sliding glass door, right next to the tank, at its old location it was located in my bedroom which i kept the binds shut most of the time, they saw light mostly only during feeding times or when i left my door open
