Moved the trio of "BDs" into my sump (370 gallon) while I buff out the main tank and make some changes. So what are these... BDs or BD/LEO?

Put tile on the bottom and I plan on adding some white sand as well. That way when they move the sand you still see white. I also plan on buffing out all the scratches

Nice background and tank. Is there any henlei in the mix?
 
Look like most of the BDs that were being imported several years ago by H2O. Problem is everyone wants to compare WC BD to these large spot F1 and F2 super BDs coming from Asia where no one can verify what has been bred into the mix to create these huge spots on them.
Unless anyone can verify the lineage and the catching point locale you will never know the truth. Its all a matter of trust. Doesnt matter what belly spotting, perimeter spotting or eye color they have. Its meaning less. I can post my classic leo that has blue eyes, does that mean it has BD in it?
All look nice TB, how large are they? Like the one with TI spotting.

Thanks,
That was actually my point. People are now so uptight about what are "BDs" now. These were imported as BDs by yours truely. I hand picked these rays from the exporter and none of their rays had "Classic leo" spotting.
The two Big spots are roughly 12-14" and the female TI is at about 10-11".
 
Still needs a few more rocks and the concrete layers but here is a sneak peak.

I'm new to this black ray thing and I was actually told the one I got came from Mike h20 ...Can you explain the blue eye thing? Is this a bd trait? Are there pupils blue?

Sorry to hijack just never read this before.

Thanks.

BTW nice rays and set up!
