Pregnant Marble

That could easily be the nicest pair of rays I've ever seen. Amazing.

So the first pic is my pregnant marble which should be on day 79 and the 95% sure father. She's not very big and is her first litter so not expecting many pups.
The second pic will hopefuly be her next fella.

the ray on the left has a smiley face on it. its a really a nice pair, would you care to give out breeding conditions?

i cannot wait to see how pearl x marble will looks like...but from one breeder experience.. the male pup will follow the dady's trait and the female will follow the mother... no in between...

Thanks or the nice comments. I'm pretty excited to see this combination also. My only worry is that there is another mature motoro in the tank but he was not going anywhere near her while the pearl was all over her. The female is probably around 13" but my estimates are allways on the small size I'm told. lol. Right now she is in an overcrowded 450 tank with seven other rays of around 10"-17". I have a drip system feeding the tank through a sediment and two carbon filters. My ph is 8.5 and the tds meter reads about 600ppm right now.I keep the temp around 78-83 but mostly stays around 81. I do a couple big manual water changes and the breeding gets more aggressive. I also have a female motoro that was knocked up at the same time as the marble. Weird thing was the male pearl wouldn't touch the female motoro and the other male motoro wouldn't touch the female marble. There is a new tank on the way to house my rays but my build is taking alot longer than I thought.
