My pearl x marble hybrid is coming along just as I'd hoped. I really hope I can get those two to pair of again.
Here she is at just over a year and possibly pregnant

Thanks very kindly, for the nice words. I have had a few pm's about pearl x motoros and pearl x marbles so at least this answered half the questions. The flowers colors are usually nicer but I had just finished feeding and she's been eating alot and then getting washed out after eating so much, I'm almost suspecting she's knocked up also.

Thanks, the only problem now is knowing when to stop....not working yet.

wow skynoch.. very nice collection you have, nice xingu sp as well. the marblexpearl (mapearl for short :) ) is superb. my friend got 4 pcs but unfortunately after 8 moth still no trace of marbling or pearl pattern on them. I've not sure how the parent looks like. and a big yes..you need to show the full tank pics..

The only pure lines I want to try is flowers which I'm starting to work on now and scobina.
I do have a male and female of most the rays I have but don't really have the space to seperate them. My goal was to be able to put all my rays in one big tank. I'll also keep a pup tank and a seperate tank for quarantine or to give my females a break.

How big is the flower?? Any male flowers in the tank? Keep us updated if she is prego!!!!
that is my smaller female at around 11" which has just went into a feeding frenzy and if it was any other ray I would swear she was pregant but she seems a little small to be ready yet and I have another female around 16". I have found someone willing to part with a mature pair which I will be hopefully getting hortly

Thank you. By any chance do you have any pics of your friends 4? I do have a short vid where I'm focusing more on the xingu that I will post today. This xingu has got my hopes up as from the 4 xingus I got this is the only one that is showing any poential of becoming the nice white and black pattern that we all want.
