I hope I didn't imply that Roy was charging too much for his fish. I don't
think that is the case at all. But like you said, I can't afford them
either. There are an awful lot of things in the world I'd really like to
have that I can't afford, hey I'm a woman I LOVE to shop. :) I was going to
try to get some of Roys new fish, but everytime I think I'm getting caught
up I need a new light bulb, or I'm out of room and need to set up another
tank (where will this one end, my entire yard and house will be full before
you know it :) I'm still hoping to be able to buy some in the future. I
almost had my cc fish debt paid off, of course then I bought some more
gravel and a piece of driftwood last night. It never ends. There's also the
stress that if you pay that kind of money for fish I'll never be able to
sleep at night for fear of loosing them before they reproduce. :) I get
stressed enough when people give me fish and they don't make it. :)

I'm not doing great yet on the bows, but I feel I'm getting better. At
least I have gotten all the adult fish I have to spawn, if not getting large
numbers of fry at least I got fry. If I hadn't chlorinated the tri fry I
would have had fish from them all too. I'm still working on rectifying that
situation. :)
And as I said I should be able to offer some wanams (these are good fish,
not store ones) to anyone who would like to trade for something else very
soon. If anyone wants them.
