The joys and pains of marbles.

I really wish there was a way to press pause with marbles. Two weeks ago, Storm looked like a super model and I thought he was done changing. Well this weekend I had a mini photo shoot and noticed black spots popping up .

Meanwhile, Thunder started giving Storm a run for his money and now out of no where a red spot pops up on his head. Uggghhhh, this is so frustrating.

Anywho, here are their transitions.

And here is Thunder. He started to marble before he arrived.

*Whistles* They are both stunning how ever they change!! I know how you feel, two of my boys have changed to exactly how I don't prefer them. LOL

They are still 2 stunning looking boys :]

Thank you. My biggest fear is walking to the tank one morning and seeing Freddy Krueger.

On a good note, my husband is intrigued by marbles. So I may get to use this to my advantage!!! "Is that a new fish? No, he just changed colors." LOL!

[doggyhog]

Ahahahaaa!! Get a new one and say that it was just your boy that changed colors. LOL

They are gorgeous. I would kill to get my hands on just one male like that to breed. Rio is a great fish but he's no where near as heavy with the marble gene as either of your boys.

[NIB BETTA]

So the heavier the marble gene the better? I would have thought the opposite because there would be no way to tell what you would when you breed. Is this why fancy marbles are so expensive on AB?

[1fish2fish]

For me the heavier the better :) I want to breed a line like the boys you have there, I just love the colors and LOVE watching them change... I like the not knowing what you'll get.

I think the reason they're so expensive is just because they are so popular, I don't agree with that. If I'm going to sell a fish I'm going to have set prices based on factors like form and finnage.

Love them!
