[bymoor]

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:

And here's the original picture(higher resolution) taken by Junttis:

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!
