What kind of stingray is this ?

[angelos7577]

Hello people , could you please help me indentify this kind of male stingray ? I bought it as potamotrygon yepezi , the pet shop got it as hystrix and now i think that it is maybe a schroederi or a hybrid of it.Here some photos of the ray 2,5 months ago with a wound from pleco and now as it has changed living with a female potamotrygon motoro , thank you!!!

At this link it is exactly the same as mine and is refered to be schroederi.

It isn's for sure motoro , no way , difficult one i guess , maybe a hybrid ? It mostly looks like schroederi , but with smaller flowers as markings at the moment.

It seems that this male stingray is potamotrygon schroederi sp. sacha-ray possibly from peru.

im all for it being a flower i would have got a hella of a deal for mine compared to what flowers go for....well in the link the one towards the bottom i see couple different poss sub species...dont think those will end up like a traditional flower

I've also told yesterday from hobbists and breeders in europe that there must be several kinds of flower stingrays and not only the traditional one with the big markings.I hope i will more sure for the kind of ray as it grows more and more.
