Good question which is one reason why I hope they are able to produce many generations of them....as demand wanes the prices have to go down,hopefully.What's reasonable for a fish no one else has though? 2000.00 for a 2" fish.

Great that they actually intend to release a number of the fry though I'm not sure what good that would actually do in the long run....what with overfishing for food,polution,habitat destruction and so forth.I wonder which size the offspring are when they are released?Supposedly the fry offered are f2. They also have a 600 piece quota for the year and the rest must be re introduced into the wild
I have had the pleasure of owning quite a few pulchers in the past and I would be fine if I never got to own one of these captive bred babies....at those prices it does not look as if I will lol.Wholesale price for 2inches is fairly high . North of 2000usd anyway
You can ask questions on their facebook he got back to me in minutes. John Ip from Monster can bring these fish in.There’s no way they are only going to sell 600 babies a year... that’s BS if they are saying it. Money is money and that’s the reason.. releasing some is just to keep government in their favor. Releasing a bunch of babies is going to have a low success rate considering how many will be taken down by predators or local people. They should grow to at least 10inches and then release them in a protected body of water that’s off limits but even that is only going to help for a little bit as they can swim up or down river. They are going to breed these as much as possible lol. I cut open a old ST of mine that had died and inside she had a ton of eggs. So with that being said I can’t see a big ST having a low number of eggs produce. Good they got them breeding though. I’d like to know if they are naturally breeding these fish or hormone inducing them and milking them like hatcheries do for salmon. I also wonder if the color on these F2’s are the same as wilds and at what size they started breeding the F1’s. All the ST’s that have been available must all be the F1’s or F2’s.
Ahh good to know ...You can ask questions on their facebook he got back to me in minutes. John Ip from Monster can bring these fish in.
