LOL, that's great but also a bummer...what do you do with surplus fry when the demand dries up...tuff decisions...

Yes it is.  Initially had hoped to be able to bring a little notoriety to the species but it seems they are a little too uncommon for people to want them. Hard to compete with the colors of the peacocks but after seeing these two going at it again today I still think they have a beauty of their own. ftp://

I totally agree...i had a friend in Australia that received and bred some of the 1st "red cap" lethrinops that came into the country around 2009...stunning fish that are very underrated...i think 1 of the draw backs for people is the late onset of coloration and the silvery blandness of even 3" sub adult males...anyhow I am totally with you...i love em...thanks for sharing!! 👍
