I have 26 babies LOL! The papa is an albino BN long-fin, and the momma is a regular BN fin. The babies are now 21 days old. Looks like more long-fins than regulars but all albinos unless they change color later. I have only had this pair since December and they've already had babies and then had eggs again the other day. I took the eggs out. That's terrible but I only have a 46 gallon for the 26 + mom and pop. I did not plan for babies. Bought a male BN and the seller threw in another for free and she turned out to be a female.

I would be happy to give you some for free when they get big enough. The largest right now is almost an inch, and the runt about 1/2 inch. Hungry little buggars. I think they need to be 3 months or so before you ship them. But here's the problem... I have never shipped fish and have absolutely no clue how to do it without killing them. You're in Ohio, right? I'm in Florida.

They eat cucumber, zucchini, sweet potato and cantalope. Sweet potato is great because you can leave it in the tank for up to 3 days before it starts to make a mess, and they love it. They don't much like wafers or green beans but that will probably change as they get older. They LOVE driftwood - have since the first day, so you'd need that for sure.

I have made some videos of them all which are on You Tube and will make some more movies today and post links. They have really grown since the last video.

Let me know if you would be willing to wait for them to grow large enough to ship. If you're intending for them to have babies, remember they will be siblings, and I don't know if it's okay to breed them. Or I could just give you the mom and pop. If you want babies - those two are proven, twice over so far and the pop is even now trying to lure mom back into his "Love Shack." :rolleyes: I know when they're laying eggs because the mom sticks her head out of the top hole of the cave with her mouth wide open. She has no shame.... :lol:
