Hello,
Here is a couple I've got for a month.
The male has a different pattern than that of the female but I'm sure they are of the same kind. Both are wild catch from Columia.

The female arrived pregnant, and in the past month continues to grow.

They eat blood worms and I have given them prazi and metro in the food for prevention. They also eat a bit of Hikary Bio-Gold.

Let hope for good...

As long as you give them the right coditions it is not so hard....

But I think it is fare to say that Motoro's are pretty easy. Caqueta is a hard one even to keep - it is also very small compare to other kinds (these grown ups are about 6' only - not nearly as other types of rays who are mature).
 
Not sure I understand the question, but these are much cheaper in Israel than say Motoro, a bit more expensive than reticulated ray.

They are all very expensive in Israel (I guess because of the distance) - so this info will be very useful for you.....
 
Very nice Caquetas, especially the larger one. I know someone who is going to be very jealous as he has been looking for
quite sometime for a pair.
 
Great to see the female is pregnant as a captive born pair may lead to great things in the future for other keepers. I remember a thread about these awhile ago and it seemed like 3 years was the longest somebody had kept them for, correct me wrong if someone was longer. Good luck with these amazing little rays.
 
Nice man also awsome to see someone from Israel on here. God bless, America and Israel.
