As of now, I guess I can sell the breeding pair, lol. I have contacted some of my LFS's and asked what they would really want a local breeder to breed. They all had their lists, the only common was discus and GBRs. So I am going to sell them. It is very hard to find them on aquabid, I just got luck at the auction. out of 1100+ bags of fish and palnts, there were 2 breeding pairs of GBRs.

But the ultimate goal is to sell enough fish to pay for my addiction, lol

look for a thead titled "shipped fish" by alter40..I would link it to you but I dont have time right now. I had good luck with apistodave but eric (alter40) had the opposite, it seems that if your fish die during shippment from him you may have problems getting new ones, if they arrive healthy and alive you will be good to go.

But bob is right aquabid or see if monfort's can order them in for you.

P.S. I have a big doghouse with a kitchen and cable..had to buy it because I seem to stay in it more than the actual house...lol

EDIT: Just discussed something I am bidding on ebay and got another lecture..lol..hello doghouse..

There are a few white eggs that the male is protecting. Not sure what happened to the rest.
I do have a Ro. I have a seperate 55g that has the line run to it. I have a heater to keep the temp up for the water changes. I put a pond water pump and a long line to go from tank to tank. It's a cool set up
