African_Fever Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) After waiting 3 weeks for Air Canada to re-schedule my fish after they bumped me, they finally arrived yesterday. All of these motoro's were called 'Royal marble motoro' by the exporter, but as you can see they REALLY vary in their patterns; I'd guess they could be divided into at least 3 species one day. The boys: The girls: And the flowers: A group shot as well. The male that I've had for a while is the lighter one in the bottom.

CORVETTE Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) beautiful rays, i dream of having that many whats the second last one worth i would love to add him to my collection? LOL do you have them in ponds or just really big tanks? Did you find someone to buy your other ones? Edited May 12, 2008 by CORVETTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I'm going to be keeping the last male - I think he's too stunning to let go at this time! The rays are in both tanks and a pond (330 gallon stock tank) for now, but I'm planning to build a couple more large tanks for better viewing. I can't wait to get the black arowana I got in as well in a tank! It's looking like I'm going to be keeping the rays I had before as well. I'm pretty sure they bred on Friday night, so hopefully I've got some pups in the future! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discus_Galore Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Incredible! What size are they? If you get some healthy pups out of these guys, you definately have to let me know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 All the motoro's are 10-12" except for male #3, he's only about 8" (and rather well developed for a ray that size too). The dark flower is about 8" and the other about 6". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
