I was wondering how long it would take my retics to breed?

I was wondering the same thing, and what disc size they need to be? Any ideas?

I know that they have been bred at 7,5 inches.. but they have to be in topcondition...

normally 2 to 3 years for a ray to breed... i'm not sure about the retics, but that's how long most of the rays take, so it should be simillar

Well I have a male retic at about 8 inches (the disk) and a female around 6. Will there be any problems because my female is smaller than my male? Also I have a 135 gallon tank will they be able to/want to breed in that? Right now they look very comftorable and can easily move around? Does any one now how big a adult retic grows to?

Also does any one have any pics of there retics or breeding pairs of sting rays?

Here is my retics. How close does any one think they are to breeding.

The darker one is a female and the lighter one is a male.

Make some pics of the claspers.. If they are big and rolled open, your male is mature and ready to breed...

Female is to small
