Not to answer for tydus but he doesn't have phytophagus or aeneocolors.

Oh, by the way Jon...why don't you want this female....Where did she come from? Won't she work with your group?

Tydus,

I already offered a trade with Brenda and Barb, but they don't really have a need for it, but I do have a nice adult female 3+ inches, Phytophagus. Do you have maybe some Aeneocolor females? Not that I don't want her, but the rest of my phytophagus colony is much much younger and smaller. It will be many months before I have any males near her size. I am thinking it's probably in my best interest to trade her for something I could use.

As of now, I don't have any aenocolors or phytophagus. I know that I will have them later on and I would be glad to help you out when I have some.

Not so much I don't want her Brenda, but she's much older and larger then the rest of the stock. She's kind of an outcast in some senses. That she's already a mature full grown adult and the balance of the colony is still about 4-5 months behind that. The logic is that having many females is very desirable, and anyone getting a breeding female likes to have them usually, but she's not doing much good for me at this point since I have to wait for the rest to grow up. I don't know if you follow what I am saying. If I can trade her out to someone that could use a breeding female to do 2 things, will mix up my bloodline group, and help someone reduce some of their younger fish and make room in turn for them. I see a win win out of it, but I can just as well keep her too. I just think it's a waste to hold a mature female like that with a juvenile group that's not mature yet is all.

I'm also offering on here only too Brenda. I've seen postings about people care and stuff, so I don't want it to be misleading to think because I am doing tank work and keeping my pictures private for now, doesn't mean I don't care. I think we all know if I made an offer like that on other sites, I probably could get something for her and get the win win thing. I'm trying here first because I'm happy to be in a group of other Vic keepers like you, Barb, Walt and Tydus, so if I could help any of you first, that's more important to me then people on other sites, to be honest.
