It's been a while since I've posted anything in regards to my Marbles. All the mine's better then yours stuff has gotten to be a real turnoff lately. That coupled with my place getting robbed over the 4th has left me with no camera and a hole in my wallet from having to replace my laptop, and zero desire to share anything. I know there's a few friends here that would still like to see occasional updates so..... I took a crappy phone vid to share with you guys as I am pretty proud of these Marbles. Excuse the big girl, she just came up from the pond and is terribly washed out from the move. A few days later she's allready coloring up again. I recently added a monster male to the pond and didn't want him violating the smallest female as she's much smaller then him.

Anyways, enjoy the juvies. I will try to get an update posted up soon of my prized CB pup pair and the adults in the pond.

sorry for your unfortunate loss. But hey look it from the bright side, you still have a very good looking marbles :)
 
As always, love the marbles man. You have the best collection going. That white sand and bright light is doing an awesome job of keeping them lighter in color. How many do you have now?
 
wow those are amazing quality!! very healthy and happy also!

cant wait to see the pond and pups :popcorn:

Thanks Mike and Trev, you guys are the first 2 that come to mind when I think of fellow raykeeping friends. I really appreciate the kind words.

I have too many....lol

In house-
2 Pups (F/M unrelated)
5 Juvies (2M/3F)
6 Adults (3M/3F)

I have 2-3 in the pond that will be getting sold. IF I have as much trouble selling them as I am the 300 gallon the juvies are in, then they will be going a couple hours south to a buddies to join the M/F pair of mine that allready reside down there to go in the 300 that may just end up down there. Let's just say it's safe to assume my fishkeeping buddy Brett here in Iowa thoroughly enjoys the fact that I can't seem to sell anything cause then he ends up with it all.

I wanna keep my adult #s down to 3-4, eaiser to over feed and keep bloodlines uncontaminated. I think the pup total will prolly go up beings it's so hard to sell really nice CB pups. :nilly:
 
You need another Marble craze to hit the US. Remember about 1 1/2-2 years ago when there was a good solid month of marble craze. I bet you could of sold your whole collection for a grand a ray. I was even tempted to sell one of mine but am glad I held off. Your turn will come. No one has been more patient and deserving as yourself.
 
Nice video DB,really enjoyed watching it,those rays are in overdrive..lol!..soooo active,some real nice quality in there,like the really dark one with the two big spots on its back....unusual ray that one.
Sorry to hear about the robbery!

They all look great DB, and I couldn't agree more with the above statement. Congrats on the new male.
 
i really hope you get that tank and rays sold...........it would be just so terrible to have to bring them down here. "insert evil laugh here"



great looking video
