Need an ID and reference

We've been talking to breeders and getting pictures of the rays they have for sale. I tell them that Ashley would like marble motoros, and the pictures do not match the rays she wants! So, I had her look through google images for the types of patterns she would like to see eventually on her rays. What she does not know is that I will be getting them sooner than she thinks as a surprise! So, here are the pictures of what she likes. What do I ask for when talking to a vendor?

Thanks,
Matt

By the way- if you know of anyone selling pups of rays like these, please PM me! If I end up getting them, I promise to write you a spiffy thank you letter.

Not gonna happen.

Marbles of that quality sell for black ray money IF you can find them anywhere in the US. I've never seen them you MIGHT be able to get close on the second pic.....

The rest are available over seas for upwards of Pearl money.

Plan on spending $500 a ray for nice available Marbles over here.

Ask for King Royals...... They'll laugh, and the search continues. At least that's what I do. Take it from someone who was in your shoes 2 YEARS ago, and STILL is. Have NEVER seen a King Royal for sale over here.

Those are all marbles. Just buy them from a breeder rather than an importer. A few guys on this site breed Marbled Motoro's. I can personally vouch for Jimr because I have one of his. Someone here just got 2 from his as well.

As everyone has said these are hardly for sale in the US and ppl like mike (csx) get them. The second one though will comonly be called a rose marble bc of the rose cyrcle around it but it eventually goes away

My bad, those are some high quality marbles, but I think that you will very satisfied with a captive bred marble available in the states.

Hi,

pups of the marbled on the third pic are for sale right now here in germany, but I don't know, if the breeder is able to ship them or even would do.

buy the Motoro hybrids at the bottom of this page.. IMO they will turn out way better than the marbles similar prices too because you will pay a bit for a real nice marble like that first one

I received some pictures of the actual specimens from H2O and they were nothing like the ones posted at the website. Maybe it was simply because they were pups, or maybe I asked the wrong questions?
