im was thinking something X flower

i've never seen a retic look anything close to this before
any ones i have ever seen always look so plain and dark brown.
these are almost bright orange
 
If thats big als which going by the tank it is, those are what we regularly get as retics
 
Potamotrygon Caqueta...trade name red reticulata,note the huge claspers on what looks to be a ray with a disc size of no more than 12 to 15cm......very difficult species to raise in captivity.Country of origin..Colombia.

Very interesting - I guess the size can tell it as the flowers are huge....
Never seen Potamotrygon Caqueta in life - seems very nice to me.

Also, seems like the male is sexually mature - which means you are probably right.
