FRESHWATER BLUE SPOTTED STINGRAY, anyone heard of them?

[Redtail_Watcher]

I was told by my LFS that i they can get a hold of a freshwater stingray is that possible i asked another pet store the guy there also said, he can get them, I know the blue spotted sting rays(B.S.S.) are saltwalter fish. i Try alot of other stores they never heard of it, I figure that it was saltwater stingray, turn into freshwater. I seen a picture in a book that a saltwater B.S.S. gets a foot long, but i seen pictures with scuba divers bigger than a foot it was like 2feet!??
the guy said that he can get a hold of a FRESHWater BLUE SPOTTED STINGRAY but said, that it will cost close to $300.00dollars(In my mind, I'm thinkin I'm; game/down for it) I'm just wasn't so sure about it?(B.S.S.)

could be a "blue spot" motoro. basically its a motoro with blue edges around the disk, and sometimes the rings look blue too. otherwise the blue spot stingray is the saltwater one. o yepezi have blue colouring i think

There is a motoro (also commonly known as a spotted ray or orange spot ray) varient call a blue motoro as stated above it has a blue hue along the edge of the disc, it usually fades out. $300 is kind of a high price depending on the size, but after you would consider shipping cost and price of the animal it may all just work out. But a paying price is only valued by the desire and demand of someone wishing to pay for it.


Yepezi are usually tan/olive in color with darker markings that sort of look like someone flicked a dripping paint brush over them.

Now, Mantilla ray are redish-brown/orangish-tan with blueish squiggly line markings, no spots though.

A healthy ray that you like is worth $300.

It is worth the extra money up front to purchase a healthy animal.
