New P. castexi otorongo!

[cresnyk]

Just picked up this gorgeous little biddy from Mark at Discus origins. She's wild caught from Peru and has some super interesting markings, unlike any castexi I've been able to find through research. Looking closely you can see her 'background' spotting between the larger 'forward' spotting which is similar to what I've seen in images. Tail is also thick like is expected with castexi. However, the forward spotting looks more like motoro? Is it possible to have a WC hybrid, or is this female just exceptional? Anyone have any input on this?

Thanks for looking guys!

Really hard to say but definitely looks like otorongo is in the mix

Totally plausible to have a WC hybrid

I thought so too as long as distributions overlap. That's why my mind went to castexi X motoro when I saw her. In any case, I'm stoked to have her and can't wait to see how she develops.

Thanks wednesday. I moved on her pretty fast since I was sure a number of guys on here would be interested. I think mantilla x castexi might be a closer match than motoro x castexi because of the way her spots are elongated.
