I blame this pair for starting my case of Marblism.

Finally in my pond after 4 years.

It's the latest thing lately.... Leave everyone hangin. 
I'm stoked. Back before keeping rays was even an idea for me I had seen pics of many kinds of rays and just couldn't justify the cost back then. But after seeing these things in the flesh they made me feel something I had never felt before. Didn't have the money when Brad sold them, and even IF I did I think Pat already had dibs. I couldn't get $ together fast enough to even throw Pat a decent offer when he sold them, and when I finally did Todd already had them spoken for. Finally Todd was gracious enough to sell them to me.
Todd... Thank you so much. It means a great deal that you were kind and patient enough to work with me on these. It means more then you know.
I'll get some pics up once I can actually get pics of them. Right now they look terrible. A bare black liner pond just destroys Marbles. Female is severely chewed up and the male has been reaping the retaliation of my big girl as she must be a believer in the golden rule. They've been around this long.... I gaurentee they aren't going anywhere. Once they are in a well lit tank I'll get plenty of pics.
I think this is just a testament to how well we as a ray community care for our animals. These rays have traveled many miles and been through many hands. The fact they are still here today speaks volumes about how much we love these creatures. Hopefully Collin will chime in and shed some light on the beginnings of these rays in the hobby.
I wonder how many litters this pair is responsable for.......

I know that when Pat had her mixed with his regular Motoros she got knocked up by
a Motoro. My female Half Marble is one of those offerings. So I have half the genetics anyway.
Glad that they have a place to live out the rest of their lives.
