no what i WAS saying,is it's awfuly hard to justify the shipping of convicts(which have become the new feeder fish btw)most people can pick up a breeding pair for about 8 bucks.the cheapest shipping on fish is like 25 dollars and it's not overnight.it just seems like a really high investment for a very inexpensive fish.i am very much love and enjoy my fish,but i wouldn't buy a bunch of bronze corys from across the country and pay for shipping when i can buy them localy for a fraction of the cost.as someone who does want the hobby to prosper,that why i make this point.plus how would you feel if you went to all the trouble of shipping the fish and the recipent of the fish calls you and tells you"hi,yea those fish you sent me where all dead,seeing as how they are dead i'm not paying for shipping"
now your out of fish and cash.
i never said "don't make the trade"
