Not many people especially newbies are willing to part with 600$ or more and have them die in 6 months.
Thank God we have folks on this forum who sell fish at a reasonable price.One person that comes to mind, namely
Liz. I bought fish from her last Sept. at nickle-quarter size, now they are 5-5 1/2 healthy , beautiful fish.
I think if more people on the forum would try to breed fish and put them up for sale it might insure the future
of the forum.
