P. sp. "Motoro Aparicio"
- Thread starter Miles
- Start date
Hello,
the first in the pics showen by Miles is my male.
I keep Aparicio since 5 years or so but now when I got females my male died
I have some Aparicio/Motoro crosses which I let grow and crossbreed.
The fact that pups did look like motoros shows that my male is very motoro-relative, I hope when they crossbreed I will se what other kind of ray is mixed with motoro in that river.
Aparicio are "Motoros" from Rio Tigre, and a exporter told that about 80% of the "Motoros" caught in that river have these brown spots or stripe-markings.
Btw, my Aparicio/Motoro pup female which is now about 1year and did look like normal Motoro, looses the spots and I think will look like Severum1 ' male.

You might just get your wish. Keep an eye out for a post titled "New Arrivals."
Edit: I would be doing the cross myself, eventually.

Ashley digs the patterns. I also really like the "normal" motoro pattern, but she's the boss on stocking the 360 gallon tank.
As soon as I get the 450 plywood tank built... it's open season on cheap motoros!
