Here are some pics of my new Castexi. I think there is a chance that he is albino. The reason I say this is because I have had him for 5 days now and he is eating good. He has been almost white ever since I got him. You can't see it in the pics but his eyes are a dark pink color. Here are two pics of him along with a pic of my female of the same species. When I take him out of quarantine I will post some pics of him in the main tank.

is the pvc in that tank or infront? if so why? just wanderin
 
Wow, if thats a bino then very rare hard find...
 
Pvc is in tank because I have a 3 " dat in there that had some shredded fins from another dat attacking him in my big tank. He stays hidden inside the pipe. I took a trip to TFD and they had two of what they called turtle rays. I bought the female when I was there and then later ordered the male pictured because I knew he was in good shape. When they were in the tank in cleveland he was extremely light colored compaired to her. I did not notice his eyes because the lighting up there is dim. He is about 8 inches and his eyes are dark pink all around. I am not saying he is 100% but after 5 days and him eating well I figured he would darken up a little.
 
Not albino just stresed and young sorry to tell you still a cool ray. Might be a little light in color but not a albino
 
It's not an albino the tail tells it all. You see pattern and different kind of colors their.

Atleast you could of let me go a week or so before ruining my excitement LOL! I am curious to see if his eyes go back to normal.

JD7.62, I have only made that drive one time and yes I did go through louisville. It took 6 1/2 hours to get there and 10 hours to get back. On the way back I locked my keys in my truck just north of Cincinatti while I was getting gas and then I got stuck on I-71 north of Louisville because of a 3 car pile up. I like the idea of $50 airport to airport rather than $200 in gas and a whole day gone. Seeing all of the rays they had (about 30) was worth it though.
 
i dont think its albino.... nice ray though will darken up soon
