Ha! I understand! I was just kidding anyway. :D You're undercutting yourself more than me! They are a pain in the butt to raise, and take a long time to get to sellable size. I don't think anyone actually makes a profit off them...you'd have to be a big hatchery to make money. I can easily sell TR bangers for $25-30 around here just advertising in the local online classifieds. They don't last long at that price. The LFS's around here really vary in prices. A plain ole Ocellaris clown will sell for $18-35 depending which store you go to. You'll pay up to $60 just for a piece of Xenia! I haven't seen a Bangaii for less than $40.

Good job on the breeding on all of them! I think the shrimp are the most difficult to raise...? I'd like to try my hand with them soon.

I just got a nice misbarred clown and 2 peppermint shrimp from Sick Lid last night and they are doing great. the peppermints are about 5-6 cm long with nice vibrant red coloring. Real nice stuff. I got the last 2 those size i think but he has a couple other batches on the way.

cool.....let me know when you get more shrimp.....I could use another yellow band maroon if you have one too. The other one is getting a little lonely.:wink:

Congrats Larry on your breeding endeavors. You have PM. ;)
