Is this tiger ray pup?

[giar]

It looks like marble pups to me, but i may be wrong

Look like peruvian otorango

Sorry, otorongo...I think it's a variant of castexi

So they are not tiger stingray, yes?

Are they harder to keep? Coz i dont see them much in the market

 

[Bigfishnut]

I think some variants of castexi are called tiger rays. I think there mau be another spieces called tigers as well...can't think of it off the top of my head. As far as I know castexi are about the same care level as motoro. I hate to speak out of school as I've never kept any castexi myself.

I think some call schroederi tiger rays as well, most call them flower rays. To make matters worse, I've seen variants of castexi called flower rays!

I haven't heard of a flower ray being called a tiger, though they do have a similar look and personalities. They tend to be more quiet, sensitive rays, especially when young. Not my pics, but these are flower rays-




This is a tiger ray-



The above are not tigers or flowers. They look like hybrids to me, however I'm far from a pro on IDs.

Castexi is a huge group of rays with several different looks, some do have a flower look to them. Castexi in general get enormous.

My guess would be asian bd hybrid x marble or some other brown ray.

I just came across someone on aquabid selling a true tiger ray. It's an adult female from peru

That is a big girl! John from ECZS, weird dude, he used to be a huge ray and fish supplier for the fish forums. He was banned a few years ago from what I recall. One of the few bringing in tigers I guess.
