That female is due to give birth at any time,hes can sense this thats why hes bothering her,the male copulates as soon as the pups are born.......have your nursery ready.....definitely pregnant!

I wouldnt have quoted the above unless i was sure.......all the very best to both you and your rays.

Fun? I'm going crazy. I'm trying to figure out when she got pregnant. I just moved her into this new tank about 4 weeks ago. The male had gotten stung by her in the old tank about 8 weeks ago.. so my guess would be around that time.. who knows!:nilly:
 
look for movement dude, feed her heaps and then have a close look.
If you see any movement, I would wack a divider in there, that male could cause some problems or cause un-nessary stress to her and the pup/s.

(thats what i did),
It also allows you to constantly feed the female without having any other fish eat the food. :)

good luck and congrads.
 
I saw movement over a month ago. The male has left her alone for the most part but I will continue to keep a close eye on him. She eats plenty and has no problem competing for food.

Are there any signs I can look for so I might know when to expect her to give birth? I've read that sometimes they will stop eating a day or two before. Also the male will get fiesty.. Anything else?
