Ok, now for the big beauties. As marbles age, they get better coloration. Like tigers and flowers imo.

14" Female Think she's pregnant.

Group Shots. They are in with my 3 other regular motoro females. 18", 17" and 15" and 4 gars that are 16-20" long. Sorry for all the floaties. I just fed them before I took the pics last night. The tank they are in is one of my 6ft x 6ft tanks.

The 11 1/2" male I bought from him 2 years ago. I'll tell you a sickening story. The 16" female cost me 175.00 6 years ago. but the big score came with the 14" female I bought at a store up north 3 years ago for 95.00. She was in the store for 3 months and they couldn't sell her for the 200.00 they were asking and had slashed the price down to 95.00 the morning I came in to get rid of her because she was eating them out of house and home. So I bought here right then and there.

Oh and I just remembered I have another marble male at Todd's house (anythingfish) He's about 12 or 13" and I bought him in china town about 2 years ago for 85.00. He was skinny as heck and had a skin problem and one claspers that had been damaged. But he is fat and happy now. Still has one short clasper though, I've haven't got the money for plastic surgery.

72x72x20" I've got 2 of them. all the female reg and MM are in one. And the other has the pairs of histrix and a 13" mystery brown Peru ray. I'll try and take some shots of them. Its hard to get good full tank shots because they are in a tight room.

Awesome!! I thought Brad said he had dealt with you in the past. I know he had some real lookers and when I saw yours that was the first thing that came to mind....

Sickening is right. I think I have more money wrapped up in a single Marble than you do in 3/4 of your collection.....LOL

Now you just need to start funneling them down to us here in the midwest........ :naughty:

Yeah, she didn't look like that when she was young but she turned out pretty alright. People have offered alot of cash for her, but she's been with me for a long time to just sell her for the money.
