Could use some help classifying

Hey monster fish keepers,

So I have been saying that I have a freshwater orange spotted motoro stingray.

Never really questioned it untill now.

Attached is a photo of her from today. Her colors really popped out today. Not really sure why. I'm thinking that she has adjusted fully to the 120 she's in. (I'll let her grow out then shell be going to the 260.)

Help me out figure out what she is. I shave a feeling that the shop I bought her from had no idea what she was fully and how to care for her. She was incredibly skinny and nit

Sorry for the bad picture.

Here's a better one.

Definitely a marble motoro. Nice ray!

She's awesome, already hand feeding.

Got her for $150. Originally wanted 200. I'm glad I got her, saved her from the shop.

So how do you tell the difference from a regular motoro from a marble motoro. Is it the markings between the orange spots?

How big are those 2?

And buy chance how fast do they grow. I know allot about them but always like to hear everyone's opinion on everything. People may have different experiences.

About 13-14 inches. One is over 2 years, the other is about 18 months

So they have different growth rates. GotG to know. I've had mine about 2 months and she really hasn't grown much. But like I said, I don't think the shop I got her was feeding right.

Now she's nice and happy.

Nice ray! Looks like you got a good deal also.
