Hello fellow stingray addicts, I've got these two new stingrays I'm thinking of buying, but am puzzled by what kind they are. Can anyone help me identify them before I get them? thanks in advance for all the help. First 2 pics is one ray and the last two pics is another ray. Sorry for the bad quality, I only used my phone cam. I'm liking more the yellow golden colored one. Any help in identifying very much appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply davo, you think I should take them in? They are still pretty skinny as they were just flown in a few days ago. They are about 5" in diameter and I have no idea what they would look like when fully grown.
 
If it's the ray I'm thinking of they don't get to the size of a motoro, but you'll probably want someone else to confirm that, as I'm no way an expert and don't want to be liable for you to end up with some 36" round monster LOL. If you like them though... did you ask if they were eating or anything, like you said they look a bit thin?
 
dtgshark, as for my own opinion, i think you better look n wait for another week or 2 before you purchase it... as in the pic shown, the ray's look really skinny!.....
i have experience alot of bad trauma from buying skinny rays....:(
 
Thanks guys. I haven't seen them eat and I was also thinking of waiting for them to fatten up before I get them.

Sorry Miles, what do you mean by sp. peru? Do you guys mean wild caught motoro from peru? thanks again for any advice and help.
