Hi.

As some of you knows, i have had rays for some years now. P.motoro and P.castexi Otorongo.
For a few days ago, i got 6 more rays imported from Peru.
I ordered two marbled, and some "common rays".

Well, i dont think there is any marbled here.

Think it is two different species.
Here is the two "marbled". Or is it?
Bouth are males.

Two more males.
Only pict. of one of them, but they look the same.
P.Yepezi?

Male on pict. 3 from top is maybe a P.Orbignyi?
Female on pict. 5 is maybe a P.Humerosa?

Anyone?
 
hello,

first two are very nice P.castexi (maybe they turn out as "marbled otorongo" kinda like a mix of Motello and Otorongo pattern)
the next two are the "light coloured" variant of P.sp.Peru some calle them "Yepezi Rays"
the last is a "dark coloured" P.sp.Peru type

They ain´t Orbignyi or Humerosa, they still ain´t clarified as any Species.
Also they ain´t P.magdalaenae or so *g* because these are from "Rio Magdalena" in Columbia.
 
The fourth seems to be Yepezi to me.
I have a very similar one coming from Peru - you will notice he is extremely active....
