That would be great if you could post them up. I can't remember if this female came from the same shipment as yours or not. If not they weren't far off.

I do feel pretty lucky. I wasn't sure if they were ever going to turn or if they would just stay like the they were when they first came in. I guess that patience thing was good
 
Wow that is amazing how it has turned out, even I had been very sceptical if the xingus would ever turn out. Just Beautiful.

Good to see you on here. Hopefully you will be able to post some pics up for us also. I'm still not sure if all of them turn or just some.

We got 10 in and there was only one we speculated would not turn. Think it was Scotts old male? All others seem to be turning. To most they look like a ugly brown ray that came from deep water so nobody wanted to go for them. Scott and Lyder have patience....I don't. I had 2 males and 2 females. Only the females are left. All look to be turning
 
Old pic i shot a few years ago.

I remeber seeing this pic on the net years ago somewhere (or something almost identical) and there was no info on it but was speculated at the time to be a hybrid and a big secret on the mixture. So my quest to figure out what type of hybrid it could be started. Boy was I glad when Oliver brought a few of these in and I could finally own one and figure out that it was actually not a hybrid. Thanks for sharing the pic Mark. Do you know the actual p# or r# for this ray? I'll have to dig into my aqualog but I thought I saw one in there under the r#'s.

I'll be borrowing a dslr again shortly and will snap some more shots then. ;)
 
Scott, She's a beauty! Im surprised how nice she's turned out. I mistakenly assumed that only some of the Xingu's would change to such a stunning pattern. Ive seen pics of when recently brought in, and like with most rays, their patterns vary...the pattern on her when brought in seems to be one of the more subdued...VERY NICE Ray. I hope you get a male for her..

Good to see you made it on here. It really took her forever to get to this point but well worth the wait. I'm not sure all the xingu's will turn out this way but it seems that others that had brought them in the same time as me are following the same way mine has.
lol, when we first got them we weren't really sure they would ever turn out and ones like mark were very unique.
I'm hoping I can get a male or at least get one on loan to stud so some other people can enjoy these.
