Scrabble word

Its name says exactly what kind of animal it is. It is a ray; a flat fish. It lives in fresh water, so not in the sea. On its body it has dots that resemble the round "eyes" in the tail of a peacock. So that's how that long name actually makes a lot of sense and also a very good Scrabble word!
