Dave, Sorry. I'm a poor graduate student. I could ship you there if that would be okay. HAHA. Couldn't vouch for the comfort though. I agree that most if not all of my rams have not breed at all. I hate to resort to artificial breeding, but I may have to if all I can find are the domestic fish. Wow, 99%. That explains my rams that I had before. Would you be willing to sell me some rams that are coming from a breeding pair that has some parental instincts? Let me know. Thanks.
