when they are small there seems to be little difference between them and normal motoros . how do you know for sure they will grow into marbles ? or dont you ?

yes the difference is very little. but for normal motoros they only have 1-2 rows of spots at the edge of the disc. marbles have 3 rows. learnt this from Tom32 when i was at his place to reserve one of his marble pups.
 
This thread is a great idea. It will help us (and many others, I'm sure) get a good idea of what kind of baby MM to purchase and know what to expect as they get older.

Beautiful rays you guys.
I can't wait to get our pair!

personally, i just go with my feeling. if i feel that a fish have potential, i just get it. how it turn out is not exactly about how it look like when it is young although there is some relation as we can picture how it may look like when it gets bigger. all fish can be groomed to unveil their best potential. it is how we, as the owner, should help them out by providing them all the necessary conditions for them to blossom. if the condition is not right, no matter how wonderful it look like when it is young, it will not turn out nice when it is big. this is what i believe in.
