Arrived today to an LFS near me.
One of the first (if not the first) black ray imported by a Portuguese LFS and I´m very tempted...

This is the only pic I have. Has aroung 6" (will see it tomorrow morning)
Do you confirm Leopoldi? LeoxBD? LeoxHen?
Thanks in advance

Looks like motoro x Leo. or maybe just a dark motoro

Thanks for your input. That would be disapointing.

I haven´t seen the ray in question. Just have these 2 pics.
It was imported as Leopoldi (the LFS told me), but I don´t know the source althoug believe he mentioned European captive bred.
 
I know the fish he got in today came from Holland.
 
Still a nice looking ray.
Was it a good price?
If you like it, it doesn't matter.

TBH I felt like it had some motoro in it right away because there usually isnt THAT much tiny spotting on the ends of a leo, it is usually more of a distinct row and a bit bigger, unless it is UNREAL quality maybe. Spot outlines kind of say motoro as well, maybe motoroxhenlei? I like it better in the first pic than the second pic.
 
Thanks guys
It is, as mentioned one of the first "Black ray" the appears at a Portuguese LFS.
So our experience in IDing them is ...zero.
As regards liking it...I will if he turns Black.
If it's a motoroX that will be brown..its too expensive.
