That's a real beauty! Definitely some motoro blood, but possibly some other genetics as well. Best care is big tank (300+ gallons), big filtration (k1), and lots of food (tilapia and shrimp). Keep temps around 80-82, and lots of big water changes.

I have a 350 gallon...With a emperor snakehead,jaguar cichlid,peacock bass,wallago catfish, 2 silver arowanas and a endlecheri but i wanted to keep the ray in my 5 foot tank for now will that be okay? It was a 1600 Dolphin canister filter running with a bottle filter on the inside and i do water changes every second day on it

Yeah as long as you keep water ultra clean
You should be ok.
I find rays prefer several smaller meals a day instead of one bigger one, a temp of around 80 is good.

Foods: high protein pellets, crayfish, shrimp,mussels,snails,with some fish is good
