Marbled Motoro Progression

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
@MNStingray: That's an awesome pic! Maybe those are the kind you should be taking ;) If my female ends up half as pretty as that one I'll be more than happy!

@vamptrev: Thanks trev! Yeah, found a great home for the reg motoros, they went to doubledragon. He has 2 other pups he's going to raise them with. He was very happy to get them, and I was more than pleased to find them a good home. If you ever get a chance to speak with him, do so! His fish room took my breath away when I stepped in!

I was joking with Shawn that male (the odd marble with the brown spots) will probably be some kind of unique incredible patterned ray that I'll kick myself for later on down the line for passing him up. I just don't know though....
 
Very impressive! Looks like you found the diamond in the rough! Now only if they ALL progressed like that!
 
Been a bit over a month since I uploaded a recent pic of her. Since I can only seem to get crappy pics, I decided this time to do crappy video! :shakehead (the video is still being processed atm, it will look better when its done)

The tank is pretty dirty when I filmed this. I cleaned it immediately afterwards. It's pretty cloudy from all the brown algae now that was on the tile, but it should look crispy clean in a couple hours. I'm hoping that with the "substrate" being lighter now with the original light shade of grey showing that the rays will lighten up. The smaller ray is the female that is recovering from "running spots", she is looking better every day, but still has a ways to go.

very nice haxjester!!! u find a good home 4 the reg motoros?



i can tell u right now that male is going to be an absolute KNOCKOUT!


They have a very good home.;)
Look's like I'm going to have to get ahold of you guys when I'm ready for marbles. AMAZING!
 
Hax, the marble look's awesome. Glad to see the incredible difference you've got already.
 
thanks! I've cleaned in the tile in the tank, and it's made a huge difference all around. It's so bright now! The smaller female still hasn't shown any marbling yet, but her running spots are fading back to normal, and she is very light now.

The bigger girl that this thread is about has changed since adjustment in substrate color also. I'm just not sure if it's for the best or not. I was hoping that her base color would lighten up, and it has a bit, but not nearly as much as her marbling has lightened up! I'm not sure how she would end up looking best, on a light substrate, or dark substrate. I'll post new pics/vid when I get a chance.
 
haxjester whats up? Your marbles are looking great. I recently picked up a small male marble pup myself and hope he will look as nice as yours.
