Anyone out there have pics of BIG Marbles?

Would really like to see what the patterns look like when they become "older"

Just wondering if they hit thier prime in thier "teens" like people do..... Turn real pretty around 12+ then decline after 18 or so.......

:confused:
 
Post up your big rays Dave and we'll let you know if you're in your prime...... :ROFL:

If most Motoros top out at 24 in or so (real world avg.) Then 18=3/4. You're still under half life expectancy, which would make you a 10-11 inch Marble. SO.... I agree you ARE in your prime.

Now, how bout them pics???? :naughty:

Thanks in advance!!!!
 
The lost Marbling Ray actually belongs to a member here, hopefully he will post BUT unlikely...

Who wants to be known as the member with a ray that lost their marbles? - lol

That's good stuff right there^^

I'de be proud. One of a kind. Not like it's the owner's fault.......

On another note...... There probobly isn't that many marbles of this size around is there?
 
I hope someone posts some pics of 18" plus marbles but I doubt they will. I honestly don't think they exist in the home aquarium. My guess is they get stunted or people just haven't been keeping them long enough. Miles was on the hunt for big motoros and none were found. Zoos and Mike's facility are about the only place to find rays at that size. I have posted in the past that a lfs near me has a 7 year old male motoro that was used for breeding. He is maybe 14" and that is pushing it.
 
Old pair taht we had in the shop.

They were stunners
