Jery you have the heart of a true fish breeder! When I was a kid I got those books spawning problem fishes book 1& 2. I systimaticly over the course of time went to the petshops and aquired and bred all the fish I could find that were explained in the book. After a while id go to the petstore not looking for some new fish but rather what I could breed. This is a great hobby. I like your confident attitude. Nothing wrong with that! I would always envision a little school of babies I raised myself before I had them.Keep us informed on your progress.
