Motoro Female Climbing the Walls

[discus&rays]

hi all..... I have a mature female motoro in with an up and coming male motoro and for the last month has been climbing the walls of the ponds to escape. ( at least 3/4 of her body size out of the water )..

Three open ponds together..... all parameters are fine with regular w/c's....

Is she already pregnant or is this the normal mating routine?

She is a little bigger in the back half or is that bruising from him chewing?

Please assist..... photo's will come later on tonight... cheers

Does kinda look pregnant to me. Any movement? She certainly is a fat healthy looking ray!

She's getting there! Keep an eye out for movement. If she's pregnant you'll see the pups moving around under her skin when develop enough

I feed her a small cube....
