As fish breeders we search high and low to find a pair of L's to breed. Sometimes there is nothing for it but to buy juvies and spend a couple of years growing them up to adults to breed.
Finally you get cute little fry which you think the world of. You take heaps of photos and spam all your friends with them.
You might even lose a few fry while raising them as you aren't a real professional and it cuts to the core to lose any. But all good if the majority grow to around 4cm with no dramas.
No....you cannot keep them all, although you would love to, its not fair on the other adults you are keeping to have to move over for fry to live to adults as well so you have to sell some.
You get a buyer apply and he pays you the required sum. You package them up and send them off with a sad farewell, but happy they are going to a new home to be loved.
The fish arrive according to your online tracking, since you are watching for their safe arrival like a mother hen.
And..................................Nothing!
Not a phone call nor a pm to even let you know thanks for the fish they all arrived good as gold. :cry:
