How are the blue glitters doing,do you have a ton of them.
I would like to  get some,assuming I have the cash when they are ready.
And though my lack of education hasn't hurt me none.

I need to pull another spawn....the first was small, and didn't do well.....they've been 'almost' raising.....but the 'learners permit' period is over....

How big would you need them ?

Any size would work,but prefer the budget size. ;D
I saw you mention Speedee delivery before,sounds like a good option for me,if possible.

I love glitters and snakeskins,but from what I read it takes a while to develop,so unless you are planning to growing out a ton of them you may be letting go of some of your best fish.

Some of Ken's were awesome,and I have been checking out some of Steffen Rothe's fish on facebook,what he has done with glitter and OTHER traits is amazing.

First time I heard of them was when Carol and a guy got some Platinum marbles with the trait.
Carol worked with snakeskins  for years,and I assume still does.
I wanted to get some for a long time,but either had other projects going or didn't have the money for the stock.

She eventually went to breeding almost all veils,which I don't like in general.
She also breeds a lot of Paraibas,which the trait  won't show well on.
Maybe I will contact her and see if she ever has any standard juvies available.

I'm not afraid of work.  I can lay down right next to it and go to sleep.
