About the Black Motoro Stingray

The Black Motoro is a stunning color morph of the common Motoro stingray, prized for its deep, dark base color that ranges from charcoal gray to jet black. This dark background makes the ocellated spots appear even more vivid and contrasting. Black Motoros are selectively bred for this intense coloration and are highly sought after by collectors looking for something unique yet hardy.

Appearance

Black Motoros have a round, flat disc with a base color that is significantly darker than standard Motoros – often a deep charcoal or true black. The ocellated spots are bright white, cream, or sometimes golden, with a well-defined dark ring. The contrast is dramatic.

Tank Requirements

A minimum tank size of 250 gallons is recommended for a single adult Black Motoro. Soft, sandy substrate is essential. Water parameters: temperature 78-86°F, pH 6.0-7.5.

Diet

Black Motoros are carnivores: earthworms, blackworms, shrimp, sinking carnivore pellets, and chopped seafood. A varied diet helps maintain their dark coloration.
