thanks for your great help.no its a common motoro farm bred in thailand. yes unfortunately rays are very very rare in malta. the only species we get at times are histrix, these go for about a$100 about 4" to 5" in size, once i came across some retics and came across a couple of batches of motoros but as i said prices are very high and getting even higher for these common species.....let alone trying to import a leopoldi...
