10 minutes of "ism"- A juvy update

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Awesome rays! Once our ray tank is up and going (couple years out...unfortunately) I will be waiting for a couple of your pups when you have a couple!
 
looks good alan but i do have to admit mine look nicer than yours (just kidding) so you are starting to get some pups i see this is good i am sitting on 6 my self i sold a pair of adults he is sitting on three pups. it is funny how once you get something going then there seems to be no interest. it seems as if rays are not in demand right now hopefully this will change soon. good luck to you
 
amazing marbles! your collection is the reason i needed at least one in mine. maybe when things start picking up for the both of us i will have to talk to you about one of your pups. but keep your head up and the updates coming things have a way of working out.
 
Thank for the kind words guys..... I really appreciate it!
 
Looking real good DB!! I enjoy your stock (all of them :drool:)

Sorry to hear about the 4th... I hope things turn around for the best real soon
 
Very nice and healthy looking rays. I can't believe how active your group is, never a dull moment when watching those. Hope your luck changes, with all the bad luck you've had over the years and still sticking to it is a credit to what kind of person you are.
 
very nice.....

love your collection... someday i will have the $$$ for a collection like that

Thanks Cris.

Fact of the matter though is it takes more then just money..... Takes time and patience. Nice Marbles are pretty difficult to come by. Really nice ones are very difficult to come by. When they are available they can be expensive, no doubt, but even if price is no object it will still more then likely take several years to track down a nice group unless someone starts breeding them regularly or someone starts importing much more quality ones then have been brought in the last several years. And there's always the fact that others want them too. See one posted 5 minutes after someone else and you may have just missed it. :(

Took me 3 years to track down the rays in that video. Also took a lot of patience and persistance to get the owners to let them go... Once they do decide to let them go you must be gracious and thankfull enough to just pay the asking price, no matter how rediculous it is, as many approach black ray $. This is half the reason I'm doing what I'm doing. No one should have to go through several years of stalking forums just to get some nice Marbles. They are some of the most beautiful FW rays out there, but yet also some of the rarest.
 
Alan you have the nicest collection of MMs Ive ever seen really good work. Can't wait to see them in person some day when I make my way up there.
