What is the difference in all the motoro species? I think my favorites are the marbles but I'm not sure so any info would be helpful, and also do marbles cost more? If so how much more?
 
Hard to say what causes the differences in all the motoros. Could be location, diet, or cross breeding. Marbles are the most expensive forms of motoros ranging from $300 and up depending on quality and availability. Marbles seem to stay smaller than regular motoros. I can't tell you much about the oddball variants.
 
Motoros look different for the same reason people do - different genetic backgrounds from parents being mixed together to create the pups. Spot pattens and color patterns vary. Price is determined by the buyers. They're just different patterns of the same species of ray.
 
Dam alright that's cool how they are like humans, but LOL I would pick the most expensive one to like, what are you guys favorite? How are blue spots?
 
Of all the motoro variants, marbled will fetch the highest price tag. Choose what you like, not whats the most expensive.

This is a very smart advice. Some of my favorite stingrays are actually quite cheap. I have a Yepezi that I like very much and was probably the less expensive of them all.

Also, I think that if you look carefully there are no identicle patterns on 2 different Motoro's - like a biometric signature...

If I got a blue spotted male and a marble female and they bred what would the offspring look like? Would they be half and half, or what kind of spots would they have?

Won't be able to tell for sure unlees you do it. All you can bank on is that they will not all look alike. Thats if they will breed for you. Good luck.
