Alex, I didn't lose sight of the true nature of this Ray: It's Beautiful and Rare, brought to America by You to give MFK the opportunity to Add this Beauty to someones tank and will be Hopefully Mine by paid day! Enough Said! :FIREdevil
 
Hi folks,

this ray ist definitly not a Pot. scobina :grinno:

Have a look on my Scobinas from Rio Xingu to compare.........;)

But what I must also say is, that as I've heard, brazilian ichtyologists (ist this word correct :() name other rays Pot. scobina than we here in Germany do!

In Germany, we call the rays I postet here, Pot. scobina.
This rays origin is the Rio Xingu. Most rays, brazilian scientists call Pot. scobina are from the Rio Tocantins,.......here we see these rays as Pot. orbignyi or very similiar to Pot. orbignyi and in my opinion that also seems to be the ray your talking about in this thread. I think Pot. humerosa is also a not to far away relative to Pot. orbignyi.......

So, a brazilian ichtyologist would indeed propaply call the ray we are talking about, a Pot. scobina, but it is definitly not the same species, I postet pictures of, and these have been imported to Germany from Glaser (Aqualog) as Pot. scobina!

I hope that I could help a little bit

an please excuse my english an don't laugh:ROFL:

You guys need to lay off of Alex thread. If you don't want the fish, bugger off. You've derailed it enough, and I'm surprised Alex has put up with your B.S. as long as he has. Please respect his forum, if you don't think its the real thing, then DON'T BUY IT!
 
I totally agree. This ray is a beauty, and we gotta respect the seller. You rock Alex!!!

btw, the two bichirs are at 6" and 5.5". I don't know if you gave some weird, mutant growth bichirs, but THANKS AGAIN!!!

I must not be feeling well, I usually would have cursed all these hags out a long time ago.
