THIS IS A PICT OF MY MOTORO RIGHT AFTER I GOT HIM.. HIS BLUE HAS NOW FADDED AND LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THIS.,

Blue motoros are rays that have the edges to about 3 quarters of there body covered with a blue tint but it goes away with age

I just had a thought, is it possible that the motoros can be turned blue pending on diet? Flamingos turn pink when they eat the shrimps is it possible that if the rays are eating a lot of electric blue crays?

yes and no... there has been talk about it however it stays with them as they are in tanks as well as wild, and being kept on the same food... and it then fades

 

[dr_sudz]

if it fades then it could be a vascular issue that is a genetic.. correcting as it gets older..
im just trying to come up with a reason for this variant..
