180 isnt big enoug..... read the stickies for tank sizes
 
is it strang that since the female was added the male seems more active? also are rays nocturnal they seem more active at lights out?
 
i agree... me and my cousin have started turning the lights out and watching them in the dark o.o

its like being a peeping tom... in your own house... watching your own fish... she tried to eat her tank mates...

yeah for new ray they are more active at night or when its dark, that is when they go find food. Once they establish the tank then they will active all day long looking for food. As for your male from the pic, it will be long, very long for it to be ready. Its things is still so tiny :). You will also notice one will eat more and grow faster then other too.
 
Those look like retics, yes they are male and female. Not for sure they will breed and I believe around 9-10in for retic to be mature. Males you can tell when the claspers roll.
