Potamotrygon .Boesemani
Common Names: Emperor ray or Boesemani
Distribution: Suriname ,location?
Maximum Size (Disc Width): Not enough data
Juvenile Tank Footprint: 60"x18"
Adult Tank Footprint: 96"x36"+
Feeding Habits:
The potamotrygon boesemani has very good eating habbit.from the few specimens that have been exported all owners have reported they are very agressive eaters once acclimated and tank mates should be selected carefully due to the extreme levels of agression during feedings.
Info:
This very new species of ray has no data and nothing more is know about them besides their location of collection in suriname.At first glance one my think its a motoro variant.This species has many different distinguishing features that are not traits of the motoro variants.The build of this ray is very muscular and beefy with a very large head and spiricles.As for adult size no full grown specimens have been collected since these only came into the trade in 2009.The tail spines are unique as their three seperate rows of spines one on top and one down each side on the bottom side of the tale as seen in the diagram below,which looks to be a evolutionary defense mechanism and runs from the base of the tail all the way to the end of the tail.
