The Portland vendor was the first place I placed an order, they ended up saying they only had 6, and that they believed they were all males. I ended up with a different vendor in California who said the batch he had was a result of a large order that had multiple holding females, so he kept and raised the fry. That vendor now has 10 left and has them listed for $25/each.Call The Wet Spot in Portland on the phone.... Like an actual call... I have found them there in person multiple times when they weren't listed on the website. I believe this is because they have an employee who breeds them. They ship.
Thoughts on getting the fish you want also - I went through the same thing with Cobue. When I wanted them, it seems like the whole country was out of them. Calls and emails to multiple online vendors all led to "Dave" who seems to run multiple sites. If Dave doesn't have them, it was harder to get. I waited about 3 months before a batch of fry finally came available, and then I got some pretty small fish. Good luck
Hoping my ratio is decent so I can try to get some juvies back out to the community!
