However, maybe ray patterns don't work like the bulk of us think that they do. Maybe a mantilla is not a unique fish nor a pattern due to cross breeding. Maybe the mantilla ray as hobbyists know it is a pattern defect in motoros????
Cool stuff to think about.

AlexG;1083722; said:Hello,
I don´t know were the problem is !
The ray is Motoro x Motoro/Henlei, I´ve seen pups of that combination and they looked nearly the same.
And it is really common that pups of one litter look different if the parents are not 100% the same kind.
There is NO real "Mantilla", have u ever seen one? Only many different kinds of rays which look like something which has been called "Mantilla" get this name to get some more money for it.
