Today I went to Hamilton to pick up my motoro. And wow he's amazing, the owner fed him in front of me, hes nice and fat, about 8-9 inches, and was $130. When he was in the store tank (only about 60g!!!! with two rays) he looked marbled to me, but after catching him (lol i caught him bec. the owner had no clue how to), and driving 4 hours home, his marbleing (i think) is now gone. Tell me what you think, eather way I am VERY happy with him and play on contacting pat (amazon rays) soo about getting a female for my birthday lol. He still isn't eating much though, but lol he has only been in the tank for about 45 min. so im not worried at all. The store was feeding him krill, which is what I feed my retics so i was pleased with that. One thing I did notice is that motoros are alot thicker than retics (and trust me mine eat alot) amd I think they grow ALOT faster. Heres the pics

motoros are bigger and thicker just wait they will probably out compete your retics for food too

I'm sure it will my larger motoro will do that to the smaller yesterday i thought i accidentally put too much food in one of the tanks and my 13'' eat all the food but a tiny bit that the 8'' motoro was able to eat. good luck with your new addition
 
I think a nice columbian motoro not a marbled.... very nice pick up..... he will out compete the retics and grow faster... it could become a problem but your retics are long term and hardy so you should be fine....
