small blonde ray look identical to spotted ray the only way to tell is by the spots on a spotted ray dont go rite to the edge of the wings like they do on a blonde ray

If you look at Barry murphys picture of a spotted ray in this section it will give you a better idea. It is an excellent example.

hi, 2nd one is a painted,
Have to disagree on the blonde, still think its a spotted,
i cannot post a link, but google
"The Aquarium Project."
Its has good pictures of many fish, and if you look at the spotted ( Taken aboard True Blue )it is identical to the one posted on here, yes the blondes spots do go to the VERY edge of the wing, being picky, but they do not on Off da hooks picture if you look closely, and on other spotted like barrys its more pronounced ( also on pics on aquarium site)
Also, If you look at the tail of the spotted the spots on the tail go back in a staight line either side of the ridge of thorns, on a blonde the spots are irratic going down the tail
have a look at the site it is very good and will leave no doubt

i only wish i could catch half the species youve got but do you not have to state the rig and bait used when you post a species - as well as the location approx.
