Looking Good!

Your not lol I got tagged many a years ago, posted it on MFK here is the link http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?34420-Ray-Safety-Thread Been grazed once since then from a pup.

I have found that when the males start coming of age, they pretty much start trying but it seem they are not very good at first and takes some time till they are stealthy at it. Lots of separating I had to do to give the girls a chance to recover.

That male there is at least 4-5 years old and the female is about 4 years as well. Been finding that all my female Leo's are usually at least 4 years they produce any pups. I only have grown out one male Leo from a pup and he had fully developed clasper at 2 years and he beat the crap out of my...

I have been keeping rays for over 9 years and my rays have had many litters over those years but never once have I caught them in the act, until today and I had my camera in hand.

Well I knew my big leo girl was going to be due here, for the new year but she popped a little early while I was away on visiting family. Defiantly one of the biggest pups I have ever seen, in fact notice the other pup at the end of the video is his sibling from a batch of pups from June...

Well my male must have not understood what no means, so I got the fun business of catching and pulling out a 3 inch barb out through his head. He's no little ray either so it was a bit nerve racking doing so, as you can probably tell in the video lol. He seems to be doing well and but I will be...

Here's a little update on my P14 x Leo girl my rays had a while back and a 14 girl I picked up from Darren at Monster Fish Bowl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp6vcrauj8c&list=UUMDvEYNvWuwVfLvZfEmJJQA&index=1

Very Cool!!

Very Nice ! I got to come up and see your collection in person one of these day.

They're Sold

Well I have to say to you all, you missed out on a beautiful trio of rays and not like you all didn't have the chance to snatch them up but lucky for me you all didn't and I have some beautilful additions to my tank. Thank you Tim

Well they were about 1 hour old in the video and only a day old now so no eating yet, they still have little yolk saks and with all my other pups, none have start to eat until the yolk sak is completly gone and when they do start eating, you bet I will be making sure they are well feed !

Last night my big girl gave birth to 3 large pups, 2 males and a female. The pregnacy seem to be a long one, usaully I have noticed 8 weeks after first start seeing movement she would give birth, it was pushing 12 week this one but the pups are huge lol

I had the same thing happen about a year ago and I was lucky cause both ends were visable so I was able to pull it out foward with ease. It does not sound like you will have that option but I would prob pull it out either way, just going to have to pull it out quick like a bandage.
