ID of this ray?

[Wimmels]

Hello people
Someone that lives here close by occasionally goes on vacation to Colombia, he returned with some photo's and he made a picture of a ray I don't recognize.

This picture was made by Ernst Van Genne:

I've never seen nothing like this. Very beautiful ray with a thick tail.

Do you know the size of this ray?

 

[Wimmels]

I can ask him, I guess thats a standard sized shipping container so it should be well over 30cm disksize.

P. Castexi "Hawiana" or "Motelo" with what looks to be some P. Schroederi "Flower" Ray in it's blood..

That's my guess.

This speciman came straight out of the river over there. You reckon this is a natural hybrid?

 

[sjick]

looks like castexi x tiger?

Its a castexi var. from columbia, i got it often in the last few months

 

[Wimmels]

Ah great. So we should be seeing more of these in the near future?

Got any clue how large these grow?
