Hi folks! Going to get my first ray within couple of days! She has born in Finland and from this photo album you may find pictures of the parents ("naaras" and "uros"):

She might be "real" histrix from Brasil, but what do you think? Herle (from http://www.aqua-web.fi/ forums) has own the parents around 5 years and Junttis(from same forums) is selling one of the pups.

Here's the latest picture of her:

Hi,

yes, this is one of the commonly SO CALLED Pot. histrix from the Rio Negro in Brasil.

Regards
Stefan
 
indeed true hystrix
 
Thats an awsome pup you have there alot of good coloration.
 
The 'true hystrix' is actually not the one from the Rio Negro in Brazil that most people (including myself) have been calling the 'true hystrix'. This is actually a soon to be described species, which happens to be my favorite brown ray. Nice fish!
 
My favourite brown ray too. Beautiful... they seem to be popping up a lot on mainland europe.
