Can you please help identify These stingrays. We Import them als Potamotrygon histrix from Peru, but we think there are different species.

THANKS A LOT

I am not knowledgeable in stingrays - far from it - but I don´t see a single P. hystrix in there... which is natural because they do not occur in Peru.
P. orbigny, P. reticulatus and P. motoro (among other species), yes and I believe that is what you´ve got.
I know that some exporters sell the "Peru hystrix" but hose are NOT P. hystrix


But let the experts chime in

Looks like Motoro, Orbs and possibly Yepezi. No Hystrix!

I'm guessing:

1 orbignyi
2 yepezi
3 orb
4 Peru "flower"
5 motoro
6 orbignyi
7 motoro
Last photo by itself looks like yepezi.

Picture 1-2-3 and 6 are all variants of the same species. They come from Peru under the name false Yepezi. The one in the sand is also false Yepezi, basically undescribed. They are also listed incorrectly as Hystrix.

Pic 4 is a Peruvian Flower,the other two are obviously Motoro.
