    Farm bred???

    I just found out that the BP i got is farm bred. Are there going to be any major differences or problems that I would not get from a captive bred?

    Never heard of Farm Bred. There is captive hatch, wild caught, and captive bred. Who ever told you farm bred probably meant captive bred. They just got their description messed up. They could have thought of something like "Farm raised beef" and thought the same would apply to captive bred Balls.

    My understanding of "farmed" babies is they are just bred and bred and bred over in Africa and then shipped over here.

    It actualy means they are captive hatched on a "farm" in Africa .They gather the gravid females then they gather the eggs and allow them to hatchout.
