[eche]

Can anyone tell me the ID what rays is on the left side? The seller told me its motoro sp. argentine..

Motoro sp. looks correct

Very interesting ray, looks like a motoro variant to me too. Does he know where it was collected from? Argentina?

 

[DB junkie]

Isn't Arg. home of Falkneri?

Possible Falkneri/Motoro?

Yes, P. falkneri can be found in parts of Argentina along with a few other species.

I personally believe natural ray hybridization rarely if ever occurs. These fish have swam those waters for MILLIONS of years. If natural hybridization was as common as some people suggest, I would think by now we wouldnt have such a diverse genus as we do now.

Saying that I just looked at those pictures again...is that ray covered in tiny dots in between the spots?

Its not hard to get hybrids from peru and colombia. So it does happen, and often.

Looks like a normal peru flower. We need a better pic of the spots though.
