check out the profile sticky miles made, the last motoro in it is a blue, the colors fade, and from what i have heard it isnt food, it is a blood line, breeders have lost the color of them as adults but then as pups see the blue ring again
Very nice aro! Probably the best picture I've seen of a blue/black aro yet. I can't wait to get mine in from the pond and see what its colours are really like!
I've attached two pics of my female motoro from a couple months ago (she's been a pond since then). They're taken without flash, and I wouldn't think the lights are giving off a blue tinge but maybe they are - she looks somewhat blue around the edge of her disc to me (she's about 11" at the time of the photos).

I edited the layout of your post, hope you don't mind, it's easier to see the pics now. Great looking motoros, I made a post about blues a while a go, and the different types of blue (around the disc edge, the ones with blue tint spots etc.) but had no definate answer on how it would last. I believe that if it's just around the disc edge though it will fade in time. Never got to the bottom of the "red" motoros either, I used to have a pic of a really really red one, but lost it after my last computer died.
I would think that any blue foods would help because I'm assuming the blue comes from pigments in the rays body (versus many other blues where it's a structural blue and has to do with light reflection on the scales). I believe a lot of shrimp (ie. tiger shrimp) do naturally have a fair bit of blue in them when alive, and have thought that the blue/grey in my rays may be due to the large amount of shrimp in their diet.
