i recently posted a thread on one of my male ray's with a sunken in head by the way appears to be heading toward a full recovery.this ray has three colors on his spots and is a lot lighter than some of my rays. i was wondering if his color and dots can change as he matures.can he become darker like most of my rays? can the dots go from three colors to two?
thanks
john

what size about 6" to 7"
mine is only 4" to 5"

this one was more like 9-10".....
 
I think it has to do partially from where they come from. Mine looks exactly like the one pictured above but I have seen others from peru I think with less spots and darker

but you think the spots would change...
 
well i think it all gets down to genetics but i think the triple spot like that is actually a morph like the marbles so who knows, I hope mine stays :)
 
most of the triple spot motoros are marbleds... spots and colors can change as the ray grows... post some pix of your ray...
 
Very nice!
Some of my pups also have these kind of spots.
 
i am asuming all mine are from Peru except one. actually the reason i wrote this thread is that i am noticing color change and appears to be losing the yellow center and getting darker. here are a few with some yellow centers.
