Sad to say not much info out there. Valderi is pretty much our expert on this site.

I think the girl is gonna look like her momma

Thanks to everyone for the kind words

Excellent! I believe there is a place for brown rays here. Big Orbs are very unique IMO. Any current pics of mom and dad?

Those pics are from right before she got pregs.

I'm really no expert. just a case of dumb luck coming across to orbs at lfs's. orbs commonly get miss labeled as retics they looks very similar when young but you can already see the orb "eyebrows" even on the newborns. maybe we need to start a orb pic thread. They don't need any special care I treat them like all the other rays. the male has tons of personality, more than any of my other rays.


Outstanding, I have been waiting and waiting for this post. I believe it is a mfk first

Right, when we first talked I had really only see mating behavior. when I thought she was do is when I saw him get the job done. I was thinking the girl looked more like mom. I really hope she plays out.
 
So cool to finally be getting some info on this particular species. I picked up 4 of them last week to play around with. They're funny little guys. As soon as i saw the title of this thread i knew Fishdog would go nuts. Lol. Congrats for being of the first to have cb orbs. I know who to go to with orb related questions now.
 
How old/big are they? Think they're fully grown?
they're 3.5 to 4 years old. I dont think they are full grown.

very cool!!! So glad they bred for ya, that mom is very unique!

Did the male get her for round 2?

no, I separated her after the first pup popped out. she held the second on for aleast another 3 hours. But the male is persistent so I'm sure we'll see more from these two.
