lanis17 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I have recently bought a male reticulas stingray and have found a female which I am purchasing tomorrow. I am looking for some advice on breeding them as well as how big these guys are when they are sexually mature. Please anything will help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybrid Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 what is the tank size?? what's the female ray's disc size?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) There's very few people breeding retic's, so good luck! Max size is about a 14" disc, and with their long tails they can be 30"+ long. Sexual maturity should be about 8-10" disc, and feeding them good food will make a difference. Hopefully yours are able to eat a variety of food, or at least chopped shrimp (pellets would be great, but I haven't heard of many with retics on pellets). You'll want a tank that 24" wide and 6' long for them for life, though 30-36" would be better due to their long tails.
