Some of you may remember my thread 6-7 years ago where I got stung by one of my rays during a water change. The experience was miserable enough that I sold off my rays and swore off keeping them for years. In doing so, I ended up meeting UnstoppableJayD UnstoppableJayD and began probably my favorite period in my fish keeping career.

I’ve spent the last few years fighting the itch as I drooled over some of the nicest rays on the planet swimming in my friends’ tanks. It wasn’t until a few weeks ago when a few of us were hanging out at RedDevilRyan RedDevilRyan ’s Global Fish Co that I finally gave in.

These Thai marbles have been a dream of mine. I’ve always loved Richard’s marbles over in EU. That level of quality was something unseen in the USA. IDK much about pedigree, but based purely on aesthetics, these guys sure come close. Anyway, here’s my latest...a plump little female that continues to steal my heart more and more with each passing day.

Haha sorry to disappoint, but I won’t be making any waves. Real life outside of the hobby keeps me very busy these days. I’m just happy to get to relax I’m front of my tank after a long day :)

Oh okay,that works too!
 
I've seen your username come up quite a lot in older threads and had been hoping you'd come back.
