    Default For those ray lovers out there Jaguar ray gave birth to pup over the weekend

    My brothers jaguar rays gave birth to there first pup this weekend. The parents are a 15" female and 13" male. The pup was born sometime friday night and is about 4" and eating earthworms right now. Here are some pics of the parents and baby. My brother very excited since so many people told him they were not mature enough to start breeding. Guess they were wrong

    As soon as he seen the baby he quickly moved it to the top of the tank. He has it in a clear plastic container he was afraid the parents might harm the baby.

    My brother was telling me that most of the time they have there first pups they just have one. But after that they can have 3-5 pups each litter. Not sure how easy they are to breed this is his first time at this and he wasn't expecting this to happen. Most of the other big ray people out there in the world told him his rays weren't mature enough to start breeding but it happened.

    I know it isn't even my rays but I was just as excited as he was when I got over there Saturday morning and seen it. I have a male hystrix and this pup is a female. So I already have claimed it for my tank but not so sure my brother is going to give it up that easy.

    Do rays normaly care for their young? Just wondering if he separated it from the parents because the parents will harm it or because the parents are too immature to be trusted with it.

    He told me he was afraid they would harm it. Just like you see discus eat there eggs or free swimmers sometimes. He was worried something like that might happen.
