Hey all I have a pair of motoro Rays and I'm pretty sure the female is pregnant, she usually eats a ton but recently she has been not as hungry there has been some of the seafood medley still on the bottom in the morning. Just wondering if this is a common thing to happen? Her diet usually consists of muscles,shrimp, octopus, and squid with the occasional worms from the garden. Or if there is anything else that might be fun/good for them to eat

How long have you had them? How are your water parameters? Stable? Is there a chance the male is stressing her? Are they wild or CB motoro's?

Usually if a ray doesn't show as much interest in food it's stressed either by changes in water or another ray.

The rays are CB, I've had them for about a year now they are aprx 1.25 years old or about that. Water parameters are stable. It might be the male I wasn't sure if she could just of been being moody haha. I tried a new brand of seafood and that's when she didn't want to eat as much so I've gotten more of the other brand and we will see how this goes. Thanks for the reply I'll keep this updated if she doesn't eat today

Hi everybody
I had a couple stingrays BD (female: 1,5year old&male 2,5 yeard old). I'm so happy that although they live in not very big fish tank , the female is pregnant. But I do not know when will the female one give birth, and how is the process of giving birth? Could you tell me please? Thank you so much!
Could you tell me the manifestations of the female stingray before giving birth? Thank you!
- Female don't eat before givung born? 1-2 days?
- Female oẻn swim to te upper
note: I saw that she was pregnant about 15-07-2016
Thanks you!
