what would you describe this ray as ?

maybe not henlei and three motoros maybe . but to call a special motoro just a motoro is to call a marble motoro just a motoro or a pearl ray just a ray. i dont think i would describe any of them as just a motoro and i doubt the price tag would reflect it if i were to sell any of them . if any of them are just a standard motoro then its the lil female as she has no paterning between the spots . but still , of all the standard motoros ive seen she isnt like them .
maybe i should have rephrased the question .
the question was originally about the larger female but some of the comments seem to just group them all together.
maybe i should have said :
if these were on sale in a shop . what would the likley be described as ?
or perhaps . what sort of motoro do you think this is if it is only a motoro and not potentially crossed with something else. -- if so what.
or maybe , if i were to sell this ray . what would you list it as ? ( im not thinking it would be listed as just a motoro )
if these three rays realy are "just motoro" then fine but to broaden the scale a bit i think that these three rays are all very differnt in pattern and not just standard . after asking what type of ray it is or what to describe them as , and then getting just motoro is like saying that the henlei , leo and pearl rays in that other tank are "just rays" and not really very helpfull .
as far as i can tell one is at least a marble motoro of some type ( i know there seems to be grading involved )
and the larger one possibly has some marble in her as the disk edges seem to have a marbled pattern . as far as im aware she is from the orinoco river so i think that makes it more possible also . although i could be wrong .
the little light colord female actually has a faint spot pattern underneath . but its difficult to show in a photo .
-- turkeyboy do you have any pics of your ray ?

henlei and these wild columbia rays come from different rivers, not likely a wild hybrid and this looks like a wild ray.

thats kinda what i was thinking . but wondered if the large female was more likley to be crossed with something . ive seen a fair few things it might be crossed with but its hard to say with there not being many looking like that

i take it you mean if it was a henlei cross / something ?
id say it probably more likley a wild ray due to the size . shes about 18" so at the time when she was a pup i doubt there were many breeders around .
