bill, the prices i have found for smb around here are 1-3" $1.75 EACH, and 2-4" $2.45 EACH. that's BIG $$$ no matter how you look at it. it wouldn't bother me to make the investment initially, but i hear they won't reproduce around here well and continuous stocking will be required.
doc, i live in muncie. i sure would be interested in your spawning success. email me at
[email protected] if you would maybe we could talk some more.
if i could get them to reproduce and live good, then i may be tempted to stock more initially. please respond if you have anymore advice guys.
