#1 looks like a Castexi type. #2 I would say Apricario but the spots are not joined together. Maybe an older Motoro with faded spots?

i would agree with this. Why would you buy rays when you can just go catch em?!

Great looking rays

#1 was colected here in my state, it is black, I was thinking about signata. 2# isnt old, just something like 15cm of diameter, it come from amazon basin, near of Amapá state, can be an ocellata ?

Tks, unfortunately brazilian laws are so complicated, i can be arrested if collect rays, all fishermen here hate and kill then, but, you cant collect and keep it in cage, if i say the absurds that we have you will cry..
