Orb

Looks like you changed up your stock? Nice hystrix!

Yep... Now I have 4 True Hystrix (1 male and 3 female) + 2 female Red Retric... and 1 that I'm not sure what is this... I thought that this is a male Red Retric, but now I see that is not :(

My 2 Motoro I just sold, there where to big for my tank...

looks to be orbignyi. You can usually tell from the "eyebrows" They get BIG.

You're right... it can be a potamotrygon cf. orbignyi.

Well... what I should do now ? sell it ?

Return it if it was sold as a red retic.

Not make sense... The ray cost was not that expensive, shipping cost more ;) I already talk with the guy and we work something out together.

Thank you :)
 
Take it you wanted a retic for breeding. Well if he is willin to work a deal out, then see if he can get you a retic instead of the orb.

He is nice though...

Me, I would keep him, but I understand you want to breed. I do the same thing. I could use a male retic myself. But I think I waited to long to get one. 2 of my females are already a year old and a new retic in their tank might be to young unless I wanted to wait awhile for him to mature. I do have one male, So, guess he will be hooked up with all my female retic's. (Lucky boy..lol)
