How many pups have they produced? And what do the pups look like?

It's all in what you're after. You mentioned a good price, so if you think it's a good value then go for it.

If you're asking what they would be rated at on a "A" - "AAA" scale -I myself would say "A". Others may argue "AA" but after owning many and watching patterns develop I'm sticking with A.

They look like they'll get big to me.

Patterns may improve with enviroment, but may also decline with age.
 
I would have to agree with DB (Alan).The pattern you see now wont improve,at that size what you see is what you get,having said that they are two beautiful fish in their own right but im giving them a single A,spots are nice but the marbling is very faint.
Hope this doesn't offend,i'm just been honest.
 
no offense taken coming from both you and alan, both of you have some really nice marbles and i really apreciate the input... ive been breeding regular motoros for some time now and wanna moveup to some marbles..alan u still got your pair that your looking to part with?

I do. The female's never bred at my place but I have also been very selective of the males I put with her. She had pups in JimR's possesion.... The male is proven with a female Motoro Kolossus had. It should work but unless they are a mated pair producing regularly I wouldn't call them a pair, BUT definetly a match if both produced in the past. I don't usually keep more then 1 proven male per tank so I can keep track of what's what, so they are not together now. She's huge. It would be tough, but I'm sure it could work. Have heard good things about mixing dark and light Marbles but have yet to confirm. Wouldn't even be selling her but financial restrictions are kinda forcing it.
