here are there parents. but i already have a zz that is about 5 inches, will it be ok with him??
 
FH are not tolerable with each other. Especially something small with a big FH. As for $10 each fry, it depends. Remember that all frys does not look alike. Only 10% of the frys will come out looking like their parents, and if lucky...a little better. This is why so many fish are cull overseas by the breeder after sorting the deform fish from the non-deform and the fish that has potential from the ones that will not have much looks into it.
 
those look like a nice pair id buy 2 or 3 and see how the turn out if you dont like them you can sell the to your lfs. probly for more then 10$ each
 
If I were you, try to talk him down if you buy certain quantity of frys. What overseas breeder do is they buy about 50-100 frys at one time for the cheapest price offer, and hope one or a few of them will come out good. You can sell the rest to other hobbyist out there or toss it in the LFS.
 
Crappy, digitaly doctored photos.
I would find a more respectable breeder if I were you.
Nice looking bodies, $10 probably isnt a bad deal.

Respectable breeder are overseas. These are all local breeders(backyard breeders). Know the right person and you don't need to order from overseas.
