Hi everyone.

I would like to know if you have Venezuelan rays and pictures of them.

They have a ray they call it Potamotrygon histrix (raia pérola). Have you seen it?

I've asked for pictures and i'm wayting they send me. They also have Retics.

I tought true Hystrix was only in Bresil. I know what they are and that's why i was asking if anyone knows or have pictures of that ray they call Hystrix in Venezuela.

I found that:

Paratrygon Aiereba
Potamotrygon Magdalenae
Potamotrygon Motoro
Potamotrygon Orbinyi
Potamotrygon Schroederi
Potamotrygon Yepezi

exists in Venezuela.

I wonder wich one is Potamotrygon Hystrix from Venezuela?

PS: I'm still waiting for the photos. Whe they arive i'll post them.

And I always thought, that the real Pot. hystrix which was described first as this species, would have come from Argentina

Hi all...
I´m from Venezuela, and i have to say that the rays we usually found in our southern / central rivers and lagoons are a way differente from the P. histrix i have in the Aqualog´s R. Ross guide. They are more like P. reticulata but not exactly. They have shorter tails. I´ve caught identified for sure P. yepezi, P. magdalenae, P. orbignyi and P. schroederi but i´ve found maybe 50 that you cant tell what the **** is this. Next time i go home (i live in Spain) i´ll take some pics of my scientific-fishing journeys.
