The flower rays 6 hours after I got them. The flowery pattern of the spots are now more distinguishable (the disc base color will darken/develop as they age) and the tail pattern of alternating vertical black and solid white/yellow bands are characteristic of the true Potamotrygon schroederi (the only other Potamotrygon species to show the same tail pattern would be the P. menchacai). This variant is only found in the Ventuari (also Apure River).
