Well finally everybody is at 100%, and things have calmed down here. The female is doing amazing, and is healthy. She is already broke and eating massivore, carnivore, and cichlid gold pellets.
The marble is now back to normal as well. They are still in a 50 gallon plumbed into main tank.. The p14 will be moved into the adult tank very soon. :)

One thing i can say is that gill flukes can be tough.. Prazi works though, just need to be persistent and follow instructions, and you must treat a second time a few days after first treatment, and i would suggest a third treatment a week after all that too.

The biggest signs of flukes would be

1. breathing out of one spiracle
2. "Coughing"
3. red around mouth
4. discolored gills (depending on the color of the ray)
5. Body laying completely flat, (something you will recognize)
6. Heavy breathing (spiracles opening very wide) sometimes only on one side
7. Possible to see some thrashing like trying to shake a bug off of them

Just thought i would share my experience with them.

Happy to hear things are finally going in the right direction. Both of those rays are gorgeous, but I think I like the marble a bit more.

Marble is probably about 8" maybe..

Diggin hoping I will but got to grow her out a bit more yet.
I'm thinking I should be having p14 x leo/hen coming soon tho :) now that I lost her mate and lost my female p14 he is starting to flirt with her now :) they are both proven
 
Glad they are back on track.

I sure hope you have pups around the corner. I wonder what the p14xleo/hen pattern would turn out like from your bloodline
