i know it's possible cause if you do a search on google for yellow stingray find a pic with 3 rays 1 big 2 small and a few people it tells you that they have bred yellow stingrays

i have cal rays. from what i have read they breed in dec and it takes 3 months for the young to be born,

Cali rays mate in late winter and spring time. It would be best to have a single male with 2 or more females. In mating season males look for any mature females to mate with so their is no pairs. Birth is sevral months after mating. Im going to get 2 females in about a week for my male cali. Good luck

how can you tell the male from the female. do you know how.

 

[sharkguy22]

Males have 2 claspers. There located by the anal fins by the tail. Heres and old pic of a male of mine. Its easy to tell when known how.

Dont mind the arrows they were for another question.

I looked at the thread where you posted the pics and the ray on the glass is a female. How many rays do you got?
