Thanks Roy, truth is, if I were a smart man I probably would have shut down two years ago. The only thing that kept me going was the idea of having to find a real job. Now that I am even further in debt the time has come to face reality.

Rick.

I got the eastern blacknecks and albino checkereds in late August and they couldn't have been more than a couple of weeks old at the time. The male Melanistic eastern was a problem feeder for the first couple of months I had him (got them in September) but I am not sure when they were born. The tiny flame that isn't eating on its own is a litter mate to them so I think they were probably early spring babies. They were CBB as were the checkereds. The EBs were cb from a WC female so they might have been later. I don't know when they usually pop in the wild. The red sides I got in December and they were very small. Another pet store had them before I got them and I think they were only getting a few guppies a week.
