Need ID / Ray Needs A Home

[Copeina]

This stingray is located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It was received 3 or 4 years ago as a "flower ray" and has had a few homes over the years. It now resides in the big tank at my favorite LFS. Interest is slim to say the least, and the owner would like it to go to a good home sooner than later so he can use the tank for more saleable fish. This is a 20"+ animal and it is a well-endowed male.

First we would like to ID it. Any intellegent guesses? It is very dark in color with some cool patterning that it is as hard to see in person as it is to capture with a camera.

Interested persons may shoot me a PM and I will put you in contact with the owner. It is quite inexpensive, and buyer pays shipping. And yes, he'd like to sell the enormous peacock bass as well.

Cheers!

Castexi maybe?

Hard to tell with all the sand on it but Mantilla maybe?

The first picture shows the pattern the best. With the metal halide overhead and the sand, it is hard to get a really great shot. These are the best of 20 or so shots I took last week.

Thanks for the interest to those who have inquired. I have forwarded your messages to the shop and hopefully we can find this brute a good home.

Your right...now way. I just have a hard time believing that is a castexi.
