Tell me about these rays *with pic's*

[fishbreeder12]

So I'm looking to getting my first ray ,and I would like a little more info on the two I've narrowed it down two.

The first is an Aparicio.

The second is a magdalenae.

Now I`ve got it down with a aparicio ,but the magdalenae confuses me. I've read that they are the same as a retic ?? A little more info on this would be nice Also I have used the search bar ,but I want it layed out to me straight. Is a magdalenae the same as a retic ?? Yes or no answer.

For your first ray, start with a motoro or hystrix. They're hardy and easy to care for.

Aparicio is pretty hard to find, so is magdalenae.

Read up the sticky in the main forum, tank size and filtration are the main two you need to focus on.

Second looks like a motoro to me.

By the way, your sig says 30gal with an Oscar. He needs MUCH more room than that, at least 100gals in IMO. Rays will need 300+

This is what is known in the trade as a "false" Yepezi,these are imported regularly from Peru.
Nice rays!

Thanks everyone !!

Also dis-regard my signature ,I left the site for around 2 years and just came back on ,a lot has changed since then.

I've read over all the stingray stickies ,I just wanted to know a bit more about these two ray species in-particular.

The first pic i got both of them, was ordered as hystrix from peru(i knew i wasnt going to get the real hyystrix, but tried anyway). As said before they are named false yepezi and "peru flower".. the peru flower is the one with alot of spots(first pic), and the yepezi is the one with the lines.
