    Hello all,

    Just wondering if there is any interest in these fish? I have a few and could put some effort into breeding them in spring if there is enough interest, I don't want to sit with dozens of fish that no one wants.

    Aren't these quite rare in the hobby? I wish I had an outdoor pond for these

    I have seen them a few times in the past 2 or 3 years, not cheap, but before that they were not available. I have about 20 that are ready for sale, and another 8 or so that I use for breeding. All in unheated tanks in my garage.

    They aren't difficult to breed but require a specific tank setup, not sure if I will breed these in numbers or just a few every so often just to keep their numbers up
