Motoro teacup now thats a new one. Teacup is a name given to young rays that lfs dunno the sex of and they are usually yepezi simular. Motoro wouldnt be labled as teacup as they are easily id`d. What size is he as my pair of motoro pups are pinkish underneath as they are young. Do you have any pics of the ray.

 

[miketyler]

I can take one can i upload it right onto here?

I'd love a ray for my new 8 foot tank... But, alas, no good for what else I want in there!

i thought tea-cups was just another name for drwf rays
like; Potamotrygon laticeps and the reticulatis species.

We have henlei's at work and even they have some pink on the underneath when they first come in from import, and we also motoro's with same blemishes aswell.

don't suppose anyone knows where i can get leopoldi from? I know they are now listed, but i heard a rumour you can get them from Miami and Germany?
