After a LOOOONG Hiatus...I’m Back
- Thread starter shookONES
- Start date
Here’s the new guy all settled in. His parents were tiny. Dad couldn’t have been bigger than 9” and mom was well under 12”. Hopefully the Thai marble stays small, because these guys are going to produce some insane pups someday!
Welcome back. Sorry to hear about the sting and haiatus but glad you got to meet unstoppable JD. Some of the best rays in the world in his stock.
What size are the new marbles? The male has some serious markings for a youngster

At the end of the day, I got a cool story and some great friends out of the experience. As far as sizes go, the Thai marble is 4-4.5” and the new guy is maybe 5-6”. I’m quietly hoping both stay well below the 12”. I’m confident the male will as the parents were tiny. The Thai is a mystery, but has all the telltale mini signs so I’m optimistic.
That is an cool anecdote to tell you grandkids in the future
Id love to get my hands on some mini marble. I aquired a marble x pearl hybrid some while back that has a mother thats 6 years old and prob not more then 1' wd
That’s cool. Great attitude about it all.
What are the telltale signs of a mini? How can someone I’d them? I have a friend keeping an eye on his lists for mini’s and I am just wondering what to look for?
Both pups still doing incredibly well. The Thai female hasn’t grown much, if at all. The male seems to have put on a little size. I’m having a little issue with both the male and some of my mahseer chewing on the female’s tail. Hopefully I can keep that under control before it becomes an issue smh.
Nice looking fish!
If it was me and I had to choose it would deffinately be the female that stayed. That is a really cool looking ray.
