Hi All,

Wondering if my Female looks sexually mature yet? I believe it is something to do with the clasper bits at the back? photos attached...

i think that is just for males. i dont think females show any signs other than allowing to be bred

Females don't have claspers as you can see, what type of ray and how large is she? Looks small to me from these pics.

Ok cheers, I was unsure if those back flap things were called claspers too.
Its a Female Motoro, approx 10" ish...

Those are pelvic fins, She is more than likely too small to be mature at this point. But give her a couple months and she should be around 12" and ready around that time, it will all be up to you if you put her with a male or let her grow out a bit.

I have a 11" mature male coming Monday this is all, I will let him have a go at mating but then if it doesnt work I'll sperate as I hear the males can be a bit persistent and aggressive

Why is her anus so red and irritated looking. Shouldn't look that way unless she was just bred then she might appear that way.

is this something I should be worried about?
