These are all the castexi I have owned except one that I through in to try and get all types. I have had what they call turtle rays, peru flower, otorongo or jaguar, and motelo. I like jaguars followed by peru flowers

Is the bottom ray a peruvian flower? I didn't know they were P. castexi I always assumed they were P. schroederi.

There are 2 rays that get the peru flower ray attached to them. One is a castexi which is the last one I posted and the other is from the brown ray family. Aqualog says it is a shroederi while others think it is a form of motoro.

Castexi don't get the recognition they deserve, they're very hardy, very easy to keep and doesn't get as aggresive as motoros or leos.

A lot of ppl that sees my tank usually liking my tigrillo versus the leo x pearl or any other LOL.

Couldn't agree more. That Jag I had (bigger one in first pic) had the best personality of any ray I've ever owned. Never had one person come over and take a look into the pond and not pick out the Jag and ask questions about "the pretty one". A bunch of nice Marbles in there and everyone liked the Jag the most.

I personally have yet to see a pair nicer then Fishdog's. Those should be some amazing pups.
