of beer? Or should that be mugs. 
    Oh well, here is my view and I admit I am probably not your typical 
breeder. I often struggle to raise just another pair for my own next generation. 
That may be a clear indicator that I spread myself too thin in this hobby. I try 
to breed in quantity but the fish, space, personal energy, time and live 
foods don't always cooperate. I also tend to dispense my extra fish, when there 
are any, by the least risky avenue -- that is, local club auctions and 
personally delivered trades. I have sent too many fish to too many places that died and 
vice versa. I don't want to place fish at risk if I can help it. Sending 
mature fish to a coordinator for holding and reshipping is a sure way to risk 
killing those fish in my experience. This is even more so in these days of right 
of refusal of the carrier. What is the answer? I don't know!
