    Vern had some earlier this year do know if he sold them or was growing them out. You can send him an email. He closed his hatchery during the summer/fall.

    Vern doesn't have any available at this time, I'm not even sure he ships to the US.

    thanks, J

    There are three people I know have pairs, Vern, Rick and Moon (Joe). You can check with Joe but I don't think he have any fry either.

    I have a pair that I got from Dale Jordan (Vern got some at the same time). They are a little stunted but real nice colours. Trying to spawn them. The fertility is very low (might try Viagra lol). They spawn intermitently but eat the fry when they hatch. I'll keep trying. Lots of patience needed.

    I have some fry growing out...but as Moon suggested they are not growing as we would like. i have some 3 inchers born back in March 2012. These will also not be of good size but have very nice color.
    I think it's 18 or 19 plus years this line has been going????

    By the way...welcome back Joe(Moon)

    Thanks Ralph. We had a good time at the OCA. Picked up some Stendker flachens to add to my blue collection.
    Rick. I'll try to take some pics during the weekend.
    Dale got the original Wattley strain from some guy in Japan. He did mention the name buy escapes me. He spent quite a while searching for this particular strain.
