Post up your beaten females!!!

[Gr8KarmaSF]

Ive been getting lots of PMs regarding the issue of female rays getting beat up during mating. Many are concerned about whether or not to remove the female as they are beaten up YET want them to get pregnant.

I thought we could post up pics of females that were beaten up during mating and show how a female can recover.

Please post pics of your females and if they recovered or not. It would also be helpful to share how you decided whether or not to remove your female, regardless of whether or not you thought it was pregnant.

Lets all help out the new ray breeders please!

Ohhh. I read the thread header and thought this was a different kind of beaten females you were talking about.

LOL- Nice title! Definitely grabbed my attention! Yeah I am new to the whole breeding thing and that would be hard to determine when to move them. You want them to breed, yet you don't want her to get beaten up too bad! I'm a little confused by it. I wish you could tell if she got knocked up or not.

the first picture right after giving birth getting knocked up again.

the second picture She was looking so beat, i moved the male. This was her 5th pregnancy. She is getting a well deserved break currently

the 3rd picture is is a picture of her at around 90 days pregnant


On her first pregnancy there was little to no damage to her. Each pregnancy after has gotten worse and worse,.
