I was looking online and came across this ray. Anyone know what kind of ray this is? is it salt water or fresh water?

it looks different from anything i've seen on these forums and wondering if anyone can ID.

It looks like a hybrid. Definitely freshwater though!

how can you tell it's a fresh water?

how can you tell it's a fresh water?

The body shape and markings are typical for potamotrygon species.

i first thought it was a tiger/ mantilla hybrid. but then i couldn't tell if it was even a fresh water ray. LOL

i just thought it looked different from what i've seen on the forum and figured someone knew or would have one like similar.

it does look like that one... are these rare? how much does something like that go for?

 

[JohnG]

Mantillas are not that rare, but the patterns vary allot. I haven't seen many of this particular variant. Think I paid around $500 for her.
