Why did you think it was a male when there are no claspers? :screwy:
GL on the pregnancy.


Obv I'm very much a noob and to be frank, I can't even see the claspers on any of my confirmed males. I bought these rays from reputable sellers as well, but i guess I just may be half retarded. Thanks I'll update in 2 months or so if they actually are preggo
 
When you are ready to try soaking again don't feed the worms. Just the food you are trying to feed that has been marinated in the worm juice. This has always worked for me, but I use cut up crawlers or trout worms to marinate.

Hard to tell but deff looks thick compared to the other rays in the tank. U deff need to get them off bloodworms, what a pain in the arse

I think I'm going to call up your NC supplier soon. Maybe I can try to trick them to eat shrimp when i switch them on crawlers
 
You don't have to starve them bro. In the morning feed them the soaked (extra small portions). Mid day n late, feed them the worms. There is no success if you are not trying daily. JMO but to each their own

If they are males and mature, you will be be able to tell. The fish looks a bit on the young side. Anyway, my friend has a motoro ray that looks like a mature male that had babies 2 times. She / he was separated into a different tank when the babies came out. I can't expand that one. A girl with male parts? It was a new one for me. Good Luck.
 
keep feeding what ever they eat meanwhile give them new foods hoping they take. i don't think ray is preg and those are nice hens good luck.
 
LOL.... i dont quite understand.... you say your a noob on ray keeping but u have what like 10-12 BLACK rays!? lil odd...

I agree with one of the guys said...needa clean that tank man
 
wow, you have alot of rays and money in that for a knob.
anyway, to me looks like she is just full. Mine look the same way rt after they eat. If you cant tell if its a male or female, just wait till they swim up the glass and take a look.

I do have a question for you..... How long have you had those rays (all of them)
