mature leo with semi mature motoros?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm thinking my females are almost matured. I got them at the beginning of april and I'm assuming they were around 3-4 months old as you could see their markings. That would make my rays around 1 year old and at 12" in size, they might be matured (or close to being matured). I'm not sure if that changes anything

They wouldn't be mature at 1 year only and they are still small at 12" disk

2 males may fight they may not
I had a male motoro rip out a male Leo eyes before over night

I've read that females have bred at 1 year old and at a size of 12". While this might be a rare case, mine are about the same size and age. Most threads I have read say that it takes rays a couple years to reach the size that mine are. The leo is about 6 years old and its only a few inches bigger than mine.
 
Well I went ahead and got the ray. I overestimated the size of my rays, but this guy is behaving so far. Guess we will see how things go by morning. My largest female seemed much more stressed than the others when I added him. I will grab some pictures soon
 
Oh wow. There is certainly a size difference if that's the biggest female you may need to separate them until the Motoros catch up some because he may run them ragged being that much bigger then them... Definitely a good looking leo though! Nice pickup!

Thanks! I will keep an eye on him. He hasn't shown any interest yet, and I'm hoping that will be the case until females grow a bit.
 
That size difference isn't that bad
I have mix much bigger size differences
It all depends on each Ray
