Marbles are finally expecting!

Shes gonna b a good one! Triple spots already. This is def. making me miss my bloodline … last female i kept was killed by a 18” flagtail who stripped her slime coat over night . Very happy to see ur keepin it goin for me lol

Yes sir, still keeping your OG bloodline going! mom is pretty small, maybe 11" and dad is maybe 10", but she has to be 6 years old or so i think. but these pups were huge, just under 5"

When I first saw the title, I thought you meant your glass marbles were expecting, and I was like, shoot...I have to see this lol. But instead, I was surprised by stingray babies, which was even better! Congrats!

Very cool. I am new to rays and have a trio just reaching breeding age/size. How can you tell the female is expecting?

You should notice significant growth in her “hips” on both sides just above the base of her tail. It takes a while before you start noticing but once you do, you can’t miss it. Then it’s time to look for movements a few weeks after that

Yes she is eating great! I usually feed sinking cichlid gold, and she is already eating them, and some worms as well. she is a fatty!

Did they end up producing pups?

been a while!
Had this pair of marbles for quite some time, finally expecting some pups in a month or so!

Second picture was dad as a pup, hoping they have some of his traits.
