Scott, it's a deal.

Might take a month or longer to determine if I get a male or female, but if it is a female, it's yours.

According to Dr Frank Marini, you would have the ideal arrangement for breeding, 2 males to 1 female. While one is holding eggs, the female will often produce another brood of eggs for the remaining male, before the first brood is even hatched, so you effectively double the potential output of babies this way! Seems fry production is limited by the amount of males available, not the amount of females.

Nature works in mysterious ways!
