1. No
2. No
3. I thought it sounded interesting.
4. Yes. I'm dissapointed to hear that they are just "Black-Light" fish and
don't really glow in the dark.
5. I wouldn't pay much, but if I got hold of a pair that were fertile I would
breed them and give them away to my freinds.
6.  Nope, don't have any.

I don't have any problem with these fish.

I would rather have some Ghost Danios.  They are a long-finned, "blushing,"
golden zebra danio. Yellow with big black eyes and you can see their organs
through the abdominal wall. It's a strain  I developed back in the '80s and I
sold a ton of them, but I've never seen them since I closed my hatchery. I'd
at least like to get a "blushing" danio if anybody comes across one.

I also vote CULL on the Parrot cichlids.
