About the Flower Ray

The Flower Ray is a breathtaking designer stingray, typically a hybrid of Motoro and Leopoldi, selectively bred for intricate patterns that resemble floral designs. These patterns can include rosettes, swirls, and complex rings of spots that create a "flower" effect on the disc. Each Flower Ray is unique, making them highly prized by collectors who appreciate the artistry of nature combined with selective breeding.

Appearance

Flower Rays have a round, flat disc with a base color ranging from dark brown to deep black. The defining feature is the pattern of spots and rings that form flower-like shapes. These may include concentric rings, rosettes, and scattered spots that together create a visually stunning, intricate design.

Tank Requirements

A minimum tank size of 300 gallons is recommended for a single adult Flower Ray. Soft, sandy substrate is essential. Water parameters: temperature 78-86°F, pH 6.0-7.5. Regular water changes (30-50% weekly) are crucial.

Diet

Flower Rays are carnivores: earthworms, blackworms, shrimp, sinking carnivore pellets, and chopped seafood. Variety is key for health and maintaining their vibrant patterns.
