OMG, 8 rays in there! I must have lost count. I have 5 in a 9x4 and thought i was overdoing it a little plus you have more males than females. That is interesting. Maybe i need to get another male? Wonder what the wife would say!!

I usually keep the aggressive males in a 180 that is tied in with this tanks filtration, but that 180 is now housing 3 suspecting females, so the males are all in the 750 for now.... Eventually this will be the males tank once I get some tanks freed up for the females. There's too many potential pup predators in there, so I will be moving the females then the males will just go visit the females for a while, once they're ready for a break the male/s will just go back to their home in the 750 gallon "meat locker"

I usually have a dozen rays on this system between the 2 tanks, but I think the filtration I'm running could easily handle twice the current bio load based on the weight of feedings. Pretty happy with the filtration going on in this system. ;)
 
Congrats bro that was one of the finest videos I have ever seen. You surely have a lot of traffic in there.What do you feed them to be so much on heats.
 
Db......
Just curious ... If you just 2 mature males .. would they fight a lot more than if you had 5..?
I ask because I once looked after a mature male Ray for a friend and had to separAte them after 1 day..

great video by the way

Thanks Ade!

I actually had to move the Falk and Pearl out of the 180 gallon I usually keep them in so I had a place for my Marbles that are holding. I had 3 males in there for a while (Falk. Pearl, and Marble) and they seemed to get along fine. I don't seem to have much trouble keeping males together but there's a lot of shuffling going on all the time so maybe that's not giving them enough time to establish territories? I know this works with my toothy fish. Maybe since they are different species they have a higher tolerance for each other? I'm not sure I've ever had 2 proven established males together so maybe that's why they get along?

Congrats man! Very happy for you! This is definitely a pretty crazy coincidence.
 
I'd rather keep my end of the bargain with you Keep then hold out for decent pics, so here's the best I have for now. :( Hard to clean the acrylic during frog season as everyone seems to be a little edgy.

Once the Marbles pop I'll move her back to the mom tank, will be much easier to get pics in there. I think I see movement but I don't even trust my eyes anymore, gf says she doesn't. She's getting big - that we definitely agree on.
