P. histrix eating from my hand video.

This was the first and last time I've fed my ray like this. I'm feeding a frozen cube of bloodworms.

The video was taken with my dig camera, so it looks better if viewed smaller.


Enjoy.....

Thats news to me, but I'm a ray rookie.

Yep no histrix. Looks like a motoro.

Histrix tend to be taller or more dome shaped. They also dont have just spots. They have wavy smudges I guess you could say.

Here is a pic (2nd pic) of a true histrix. I googled this pic so if its anyones Im sorry....

Edit: I too have a "peru motoro" Ive also seen this fish labeled as "Potamotrygon spec. Peru" so needless to say Im still confused if its a motoro or not.

Thanks for a proper ID fellas.

Anyone have a link about the peruvian motoro???


It now seems that all my research before buying was worthless, due to false pics on the internet.
