Well I was asked to do an update of this amazing ray and I have been putting it off a little with how busy things are. So I will upload some pictures from tonight and I will also upload a video of her getting worked over in a good way.... This is what I am waiting for is pups from her more than any of my other rays.

This Ray was born to JohnG's Stingrays and her mother looked just like her only larger and older but truly the most amazing ray I have seen. Super happy to have this ray in my collection.


Wish I had better lighting in this tank but you get the idea. I'm going to upload a video of her and the male going at it soon.

Nice rays! The female is exceptionally well marked, just love the huge circles with the line down the middle.
 
Love the mantilla type rays. I had a super nice male at one point that I sold to buy more rays and really kick myself everyday for doing so especially since it died at new location ): Another reason why I do not like to sell rays or pups off. Your girl is definitely a beauty. Do you know which male got her? How many do you have pregnant now?

Thanks all for the compliments, And yes I would be dizzy as well after all that spinning, heck now when I watch it I seem dizzy, lol . I was just hoping to catch the actual breeding but was not so lucky. ohh well it looks like it will be soon.


FishDog- I took these pictures and filmed this video last night actually. So after seeing this I would say most likely its this smaller male who is doing the breeding. I am not sure how many are pregnant at this point, I just know forsure the motoro is, probably from this male as he seems to be the hornny dog so far in the tank. Trust me I will let you know when your Jag is showing movment. Right now the jag is in with the leo males but probably after a little once I know these males are ready to work on the next female she will be moved in with them or something else.
