Good luck with those Jon.  Those blue eyed ones are nice.  Are they more delicate that the albinos?

Not really, but sometimes the spawns are smaller than the std/Albino's...

Congrats Jon. I always like those blue eyed one.  Unfortunately the few I had did not make it long.  The albinos I got from you are doing good tho.

L144's are still popular, we'll sell a few, and cross some to our long fin L144's.....
