thanks for the detailed response aquaman.

it was more of a curiosity than anything but they are good looking rays

i dont seem to come accross many of the castexi group at all so i hope whoever gets them keeps everyone updated with pics :)

Hi Yargnits.
These rays are now sold, went to a guy in Leeds, we had a smaller pair come through also which are also now sold.
I have just ordered two Flowers from Colombia again but specified they must be Schroederi or I won't pay for them....saw pics yesterday and I have what I ordered this time. These cracking Castexi took a long while to sell because they have no real name people can relate too, think is down to a bit of snobbery, if it has no name most people over look them,for me this is a beautiful species in its own right.
Peter...ask your supplier to look at the next Colombian list,if they are listing both Flowers and Schroederi then its the Flowers you want,both rays on the list are identical prices.
Nice to see so many of you like these as much as I did, I was disappointed I hadn't got what I ordered but certainly not disappointed in these new Rays.
 
I actually saw both pairs of these rays that were for sale at wharf they looked stunning & i would have defently bought one of the pairs but i did not have the tank space. my thoughts were that these would be alot less finiky & more robust than the true flowers. when i get my new 10x3 tank ill be looking out for these rays.

Wow. I just purchased these two exact same looking fish as castexi. They were sold to me as a pair, but both came in as male. Any chance yours are female and would like to trade/sell? I also have a pair of true flowers eating earthworms from the same order.

so what did the vendor say when you told him of the error?
 
He's looking for a female for me now. Also offered discounted deals on other rays but he doesn't have anything I'm interested in right now. Also offered to refund if I ship back but I don't have the means to do so. Currently playing the waiting game to see if a female pops up. If not, I'll buy another ray from him in the future at a discount so I'm not sweatin it. He was a pleasure to deal with and I will buy from him again. Plus, these castexi are extremely nice and, like I said before, they ate MS right out of the box. Thick tails and very vibrant. Overall, happy with the dealing but two males don't produce pups :(
