First off i dont buy F1s and thats aweful steep for F1s too when you can get them for 60 bucks each. I buy my tanganyikans from
www.Littleafricaaquatics.com I have dealt with Greg for many years and his stock is 2nd to none imo. I always, and will always, buy WC fish. I just cant bring myself to buy anything other than because its just not enough quality for me. 98% of the time i wouldnt buy F1s or anything but WC because you dont truly know lineage and cant trust a single person these days other than reputable vendors and breeders that have a history(my aquabid feedback is 100% because i breed quality stuff and wont taint it with F1 lineage). Chances are that F1 group you would be breeding brother to sister and i dont like that either. More culling goes on when you start doing that. I dont mind culling deformed fish but its a pain and not something i have tons of time to do. I know a lot of people like captive bred fish but i myself being a breeder like wild.
