Motoro question

[dr_sudz]

Alright at my LFS they have a stingray for $400 and it is labeled as a king motoro stingray. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is way off base or if this is a good price, the ray is about 8-10" and lighter in colour. I will try to get a pic tomorrow, but I don't think its worth as much as they think it is. Anyone tell me different?

If it's a marbled motoro with a great pattern, I'd pay that. Normal motoro, no.

my thing looking at this ray is that it is not a dark colour ray, its kind of pale, and not amazing patern. Not saying that it is a bad looking male but just not amazing in my opinon.

I found a picture of a King Motoro, the one I saw doesn't look like that one for sure. here is the link for it. http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://www.stingrayaquarium.com/site/images/uploads/Royalmarble.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.stingrayaquarium.com/site/index.php%3Fact%3DviewCat%26catId%3D4&h=286&w=390&sz=27&hl=en&start=9&sig2=1sorK6Y4ZPWkATeFk0YOXg&um=1&usg=__j1VANqwLlidPkaV-6EnYoV_rTEc=&tbnid=bXVHhow75MRDDM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=123&ei=oc8HSeSyK4L0MMDtgOYG&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dking%2Bmotoro%2Bstingray%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Dactive%26rls%3DGGLJ,GGLJ:2008-42,GGLJ:en

Scroll down till you find one marked for 400

Simply depends on the motorro grade. IMO - King is a fancy term for, "hey, lets raise the price!"

Here are some example of various types of grades.....
