It looks like they are doing well for you. :)
Thanks for posting pics, I always wonder how the pups do after they go.
They tend to be quite entrancing, are they having this effect on you?

How big will they get at full size and do you have a name for them ? they look kinda like spotted amazons kinda hard to tell from the pics. But they look very happy and healthy

Yeah AJ, I can't help but get hypnotized watching them when I come home from work. It was funny to watch them "scoot" for the first time with their pelvic fins, I always thought exclusively used their pectoral fins (disc) for motion.
They are reticulated stingrays (potamotrygon reticulata), commonly sold as "Teacup Stingrays". They have the smallest disc size of all the freshwater stingrays (max around 14-16" diameter), but the longest tails (total length including body 30"+). The pics did turn out kinda bad. I'm looking forward to getting some clean shots with a good camera sometime soon.
Hopefully in about a years time they will breed!
