sexing motoro stingrays?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
yeah males got clasper,females dont
 
one of these things is not like the other...
 
Between a rays pelvic fins(the two fins at the base of the tail that rays use to "walk" on the substrate) There will be two small cone shaped claspers on a male, a female will have none. you can tell the sex from birth. The claspers can be seen underneath the ray, and if the ray is big enough, you can see them from the top of the ray in a male.

i was wondering, do females have claspers at all or little ones. My motoro has little tiny claspers does that mean its a girl?
