Castexi who has em?

[rudy]

I have a large female Motelo and a large male otorongo, but I am finding not a lot of people keep this awesome species. Any body else have them, or have kept them?

These were sent to me as 'Flower'.. I believe. Are they a Castexi DW? I thought they might be a Motoro variant, not sure. What would you call these?

Miles,

Those are very interesting Peruvian rays. I do not believe that they are castexi morphs (DW...notice the word usage). The pattern is similar but, I do not believe that the body structure is. In my limited experience, castexi are a bulkier ray that get very large in size. The rays you have look to be more dorsally compressed and have a thinner body especially as you move toward the outside of the disc.

Just my two cents.
