Just keep up the waterchanges and keep him in good water.. Maybe try some other foods like earthworms, i know on one of my females i couldn't get her to eat until i dropped worms in there.. Then she went crazy..
New Motoro, Prettiest male I have seen yet!

Thanks Mike, we are keeping up on the water changes and I will try the earthworms if he doesn't start to get an appetite soon.
Anyone else think it is a hybrid? Or just a motoro variant "superspot"

i think you are very lucky to own such a lovely male motoro variant. (welcome to the variant club)lol.
LOL magic- Thank you. So when people say variant are they meaning it is a Hybrid of some other kind of ray with strong Motoro genes so we don't really know what it is crossed with? Or is variant meaning it is a 100% motoro just an odd pattern? Just curious.
Thanks!

Most definately 100% motoro with odd pattern.
I hope you manage to get it feeding more, try chopping earthworms to release more scent.
What are it's tank mates?
I will be getting some earthworms here soon and will chop them up. I have found that I have to land the food right in front of him before he will eat, he will not hunt and pounce on it like most rays i have seen eat. There are 2 Fl gars and 2pbass in the tank. The bass wont touch the talapia or shrimp so I know its not a matter of competing for food.
I wouldn't worry about cutting them up, he's big enough to take whole worms no problem.. Plus i'd just run to walmart if there's one by you, that's where i bought all my worms. Right out of the bait cooler..lol
He will start to hunt and eat more once he gets settled in, some worms might wake him up though. He has always been a real pig, was eating almost a whole a tilapia fillet every day.
Ashley,
I'm 100% that this is a Motoro X ? hybrid. Im in no way saying thats a bad thing but if you can get close up of the top of the disc at the head and tail points i should be able to give some indication of what that might be.
Hybrid patterning often shows with a dominant pattern and an underlying recessive pattern (if youve ever seen a Liger or a tigron you can see that in their pelts) hence the motoro pattern looking like its been placed over a possible P.castexi .
