Ha! I understand! I was just kidding anyway. 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.
