ID, please.

[Piscine]

I have an opportunity to buy these guys, but I'm pretty sure these are not on my list of wanted species. Thanks in advance, and I apologize for the shaky picture.

Specimen 1

Specimen 2

retics

 

[Piscine]

I guess the local motoro search continues. lol Anyone else feel the same? The tail made me think P. Reticulata as well.

 

[PeteLockwood]

Is your question "anyone else feel they're retic"? If so, yes, there's no mistaking them.

 

[Piscine]

That was my question, and forgive my ignorance. There may be "no mistaking them" for you, but I am not a "stingray expert". I am a beginner in the stingray world, but hope to gain hands on experience very soon. I have read every bit of care information I have been able to get my hands on. Thank you for your answers and time.

 

[Piscine]

I also believe specimen 1 was on the brink of death.

 

[Luc]

Watevee it is, if I am u, will remove the gravel totally

 

[PeteLockwood]

Luc, pretty sure they're in a pet store, he didn't purchase them.

And Piscine, I didn't mean anything offensive when I said "no mistaking", just trying to reassure you that Spotfin's ID was correct.

 

[Piscine]

Thanks Pete. It did sound a little condescending at first, but I think its because it was written word and not spoken. I appreciate your affirmation.

First one looks like a Castexi! Second picture is too blury to ID.
Here is my female Castexi pups for reference.
