Another attempt to I.D. my ray.

[Copeina]

The one on the right is a humerosa. The one on the left came in as "Rare Ray - Peru"

Here's a better shot from above.

She'd been on hunger strike for about a month, then suddenly got super aggressive and now gorges herself on as much as I throw in the tank. Still looking a bit skinny, but no question as to her good health.

The game continues!

Thanks folks,

Nice specimins. Probably could eat some more though.


They are an unlisted sp falling under Potamotrygon sp. We get them every once in a while listed as Black Motoro's or Black Common. Where did you get them. We have an importer in your area I wonder if they could be from us.

It's not rare.

It's probably a motoro variant: http://www.amazon-exotic-import.de/Gallerie/Rochen/Seiten/Potamtorygon spec. similar Motoro.htm

 

[Copeina]

Motoro you say... anyone want to trade for a female humerosa?

She came from Petland in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I would have to check which importer Kurt used, as he transships from different companies quite regularly.

I know the papers just said "Rare Ray" and it was from the Peru order list. She was the same price as a humerosa or young motoro, so it's not like I paid a mint for her...

Thanks for the information.

It's not actually a motoro.

They're simple not classified under any scientific name, therefore, they're called a variant of the motoro ray.

Looks a lot like pics of scobinas of seen and mine. Also looks like some peru ray ECZS has he calls a marble ray!?

 

[M|L]

Does anyone have these and know how big they get?

Is it worth trying to breed it to my humerosa?

Thanks again,

looks like mine a potamotrygon sp a peruvian undescribed species also known as sasha ray.
i have heard they get to around 16'' max for females and males a little smaller but we will see as i plan on growing mine out which should not take long the way it eats.
