Been too many years in the making for me to remember. After what I'm guessing to be over 5 years a single meticulously chosen male was allowed into the tank of my most prized Marbles - My "Nethergirl"s daughters. Their mother was lost years ago when we moved. The male was removed after carnage caused on her sister. I ended up loosing the younger sister. Hoping that karma will treat me well. I believe there's movement now. Fingers crossed it plays out well. Wanted to share this news with my fellow ray enthusiasts as this has been a very long trying road - one that most fish keepers would not understand as many breeders just let their fish decide the breeding. I've never housed this ray with a male after suspecting maturity. Its been a very long wait. I consider her the nicest surviving Marble I've ever bred.

That is, a lovely marble. Good luck!
 
Update to this.....

I lost the uglier sister. The male shredded her. I did my best to heal her back up but I lost the battle. I bet it wasn't more then a few weeks after I first posted this thread.

However, 4 days ago the pretty sister had her very first pup. Unfortunately there was a bit of an egg sack.

Hoping I can get her going......
