    I have batched of all ages. I swap all my fish for other fish or for fish food. I am not in it for the money, I want to advance the hobby. How many do you want?

    I will set 6 aside for you from the next batch that will be ready to go out in about two weeks. Just to remind you I work on a swop out basis. What do you breed with?

    Update on last weeks spawn. They have one more day on their yolk sacks and then they go into a grow-out tank.

    very cool - they really are cool, have them breeding in all the tanks that I added the original parent into. Seems like a new batch every 3 - 5 weeks ....
