P. Histrix ray

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i cant wait to get my 2. Colin do you think 3 hystrix would be ok in a 235? 2 females 1 male? thanks great pics
 
Kind of hard to get them ATM because of the ban of ray exports from Brazil..

Alot of sellers are selling the Peruvian "Histrix', which is not really a true histrix.. Usually a Motoro morph, yepezi, or humerosa.. They keep the Histrix name however, to fool the buyers into thinking its the same small species.
 
Yeah the ban sucks. I want some scobinas so bad.
 
I believe that histrix can also be found in Guyana and possibly a couple of other countries surrounding Brazil.

A couple of fish stores in the midwest have had shipments of small histrix in the last three months. They can be found.

A trio of histrix would be great for life in a tank of that size. I keep a large trio in a 220 and another pair in a 180.

i've only seen the peruvian sold over here, which is a shame, i'd like a couple of true hystrix
