Sad morning

[spotfin]

Checked on my rays this morning and found this little guy. He was still born, about a month early, 3" diameter. Noticed the mom didn't eat last night and I didn't see any movement from the pup. He would have been an awesome looking marble.

This was her 4th litter, a single pup in each litter. The first 3 pups are doing great. Not sure what happended this time. Any ideas?

Sorry for the loss. Looks pretty developed for being a month early.

Sorry to hear that he didn't make it, no idea what happened...

Is the male still harassing her to breed? (Biting & pouncing)

Sorry bud

I pretty sure my male got my female again while all my rays are being held in a holding tank while I'm setting up my new tank (should be here this weekend and all plumbed up by Sunday.
