I'm actually selling some off and keep some, I'll probally sell like 10 and keep 10
Like T1 said, that's too little to pick out from...

Or you can do it like me a few years ago, buy a box of datnoids (around 80 - 200+ pieces), it will significantly reduce the cost per fish, and the cost of shipping. Pick out your desirable fish and throw the rest out to the market in a very low price!

It will hurt your lfs business, and if you don't want your lfs start hating you, just cull the rest out! (it is not recommended)

In my experience, the odds of finding a nice pattern from a batch of datnoid is like 1 out of 100+

The problem with that is you will get about 5+ with undesirable strips that will be hard to sell

But chances are with an Indo collection like that all in 1tank, there will be several skinny stressed IT's within time which tend to be on the more "stable" side...which could go a long way towards resell value regardless of unfavorable striping

Trans-ship/import from a wholesaler basically. 1 box quantity, probably around 100 fish. Super low price per fish if you do it that way.

Just an idea how much it cost us here to get from Indonesian farms. Currency exchange RM3.70 = US$1. If we get from local breeder its cheaper.
