ok so its a motoro . but unlike any ive seen before so i wondered what sort of motoro it is or what you guys think .

you have to get up close and personal to see all the colors of this ray . she has a blueish tint around the disk but not right on the edge more mid disc and then the very outer edge of the disc as swell as lots of orange patterning and tiny orange spotting between the big spots . the orange patterning is just a merge of the tiny orange spots that there are so many of.

ive put a few pics on to see if you can get an idea .

the big one on the left in the first pic .

i have one just like that.... new female that i picked up.... i just always assumed the spots underneith were from disk rot, since she showed up to my place in such bad shape
 
just a question, idk much about rays but i was wondering on the smaller light colored one, are those "chips" in her disk normal? usually the rays i see have a perfectly rounded disk but that one has several little chips? jw
btw nice rays i see the color tint very neat!!!
 
its the males amourus affections towards the smaller female before the introduction of the larger female . they have been seporated a while and he took particular interest after she was put in the same tank as him . the larger female being in the same tank should hopefully divert some of his attention .
 
I would say its good some henlei blood in her, how much? who knows. Vvery nice ray though very different.
 
i see 3 motoro's.... no henlei
