I know I want to get a young Motoro ray but I would like to wait until my fish get a bit bigger. Motoros seem to be pretty easy to get right now but if I wait a couple more months are they going to be hard to find??

Thanks
 
nope... they are always available..
 
CB motoros are always available from one of the forum members.

As far as WC, they are import from time to time. Depends how soon and readily the fishmen collect them.

What is the difference between "CB" motoros and "WC" motoros?
 
CB captive bred.... WC wild caught.... WC motoros are always avail... columbia has seasons marbleds fall into them
 
Ahhh, thats good to know. I will wait for a while....'Preciate it

Can you usually find a vendor carrying them, or do you have to rely on breeders? I don't know many people on here and I'd be kinda afraid of getting ripped off.
 
i disagree.

i dont know if its the rainy season of the collection place . or the time of year for financial prospects in the selling country . but there is a definate increase in availability at certain times of the year . in previous years i have noted that after april there have been small wc rays availble continuing untill later in the year around september they seem to be more difficult to come by . i expect lots of juevenile retics to become availbe quite cheap over hear very soon . but in jan i dont expect to be able to get one ( if i wanted one )

thats what i have found personaly . i live in england so things could be different in other countries i dont know.

just my findings.

i have never not seen a list at any time of the year the peru motoros are not on there... now weather or not if they have been at the wholesale place for along time is another story...
 
im sure some things get listed that are not available especially more expensive items . as you say there could also be stock .

but thats just what ive found by going to local shops. they have mentiond lists from time to time but some use lists as excuses so not accurate for me .

captive bred would be the way to go if there available anyhow :)
