New Baby Motoro's Born in Canada!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Current sizes are male 10 or 11 inches and female 12 or 13 inches. The tank is 5 feet long by I believe 18 inches wide. Most important thing to get rays to breed. I'm no pro or anything put I feel that having a larger female and smaller male was a big contributer. However with that said I feed them high quality people grade food, instead of the stuff at LFS that constantly thaws and get refrozen. I bought some vitamins to inject into worms, did that about 5months ago, haven't lately just becayse I havent bought any worms. I always skip one day a week of feedings. I have never attempted to hand feed them. Just random thoughts here. The one thing I did do is countless hours of research about stingray's on the internet before even buying them.
 
sounds like a 100 gal tank, well thats the same measurements my tank is, 5 long 18 wide. great thats awesome motivation for me! i dont have motoros but i have 2 retics male and female and juvy yepezi in my 100 gal, how many pups again?

Nope it is a 120 Gal. It is taller then the 100 Gal. Two pups, here is a pic of one, not even 20min old, pic taken last week.

Thanks for the pic.
He looks really good.

Were u intentionally trying to breed??
Gonna keep the pups? Sell em? Or u stilll thinking about what to do?
 
Thanks for the compliments. Well last year I did a trade and bought a male at first and then a female that was larger, I thought that if I feed them and keep the water clean, they COULD breed, so I was kinda hoping but didn't do anything really out of the ordinary. Well I figure I will eventually sell this first batch once they get a little bigger and stronger. They have perfect little yellow dots, striking resemblence to the parents. I'll post some more pictures soon.
 
Congrats :thumbsup:
