Not plain retics. Top one looks like a castexi/faulkneri and the bottom looks like an orbignyi type. Bottom one looks rather thin too. Are they wild caught?

spotfin is spot on in my opinion.

Definitely my thoughts too Jason... as soon as I clicked the mouse.

Both nice rays by the way.

Actually the first is a tigrillo which is in the casted family. Would agree the other is a orbignyi with a really nice pattern. Orbs have eye brows just behind their eyes, that and tail marking tend to be the same but disk pattern can vary.
