02-06-2007 18:34 by Jake Casson	Sold as a hystrix but it aint is it? From Brazil
02-06-2007 18:34 by Jake Casson	*
02-06-2007 19:54 by kingie11	hi jake it looks like a hystrix variant looks good nice fat reserves in tail no pelvic bones showing good disc no bad nips all in all nice ray
02-06-2007 20:16 by Jake Casson	umm, thanks mate. Most other people are saying its def not a hystrix but poss a yep. Very nice and good price being from a maidenhead store £80 and its 7-8" disc and perfect.
02-06-2007 20:56 by kingie11	by hystrix variant i mean hybrid its some cross breed
02-06-2007 21:06 by Jake Casson	cool, cheers dude
03-06-2007 00:27 by DiXoN	thats no hystrix its probably a yepezi and from peru, no rays are exported out fo brazil unless smuggled due to brazils blacklist. any true hystrix would be most likely captive bred from germany if for sale in the UK. most fish exported from peru which are either undescribed or motoro varients seem to have the name hystrix these days. £80 for it is a decent price for one that size.
03-06-2007 02:04 by Jim Son	looks like a normal stingray mate, nothing fancy, how much it cost you?
03-06-2007 09:32 by big cats	this is unlikely to be much help but from your picture it could be a young laticeps or hytrix but i doubt it ,i would have to go with orbigny or humerosa if you do a yahoo images search for each tou may be able to work it out yourself. most retailers just flog them as they were sold to them.
03-06-2007 10:25 by Jake Casson	I have concluded its prob a yepezi, some form simular to a motoro and will prob reach 20" disc. Great! Maidenhead have a habbit of selling me the completly wrong species. They done it last nov with a marbelled pim saying it was something different only growing to 2 foot. Not 3 foot and at the rate of 2" per month...
03-06-2007 10:28 by paul stevens	I think its a ray...
03-06-2007 10:34 by big cats	are you sure paul,i considered it may be a frisbee
03-06-2007 10:45 by Jake Casson	Where was that house paul, LA? Thanks for your input, at least now I now its a ray. Blue aro on way, picking up soon. And just been offered 13" tig for £350 ono so strongly considering that even though im skint.
03-06-2007 11:00 by paul stevens	Trinity Way, Littlehampton, West Sussex, BN17
03-06-2007 11:07 by Jake Casson	Good enough, LA is the place to buy, gonna keep on riseing. Have some decent LFS and 2 of them are owned by close mates of mine. Nice easy fishing waters for you too.
03-06-2007 11:08 by big cats	you can buy 6 inch tigs in the states for $200,so you can expect to see them here soon for less money?? maybe now is not the time to be buying?
03-06-2007 11:08 by paul stevens	Cool im gona deff look into this one.
03-06-2007 11:41 by Jake Casson	Yeah tigs aint that much wholesale, the price is mainly due to them being sensitive and dropping dead for no reason. May have to leave this one, but then again my collection will be near complete and stunning. Trinity way, was there the other day but cant think what area it is
03-06-2007 11:56 by big cats	i am looking in too buying some wholesale cos practical fishkeeping are almost ready to publish an article on them,thats bound to increase demand beyond current supply??
03-06-2007 11:59 by Jake Casson	Fairly cheap from peru, look into it. Big risk though. And they vary soo much
