Dont worry about the cost, like I said its for the zoo so it is for a good
cause. I would like some of those rainbowfish from madagascar. If you guys
run into any hastles with breeding let me know. I may be able to help. Also
if you need someone to verify the fish you have now I can do this as well.
There is nothing worse than a zoo with a tank full of hybrids!
