I don't think we give enough credit to the guys over in Africa - they can go on the internet and see the massive amount of captive breeding being done over here...so if we can do it...so can they...and since females are the ones that lay eggs, wouldn't YOU want to keep all the female aberrants as well?

Call me a skeptic, but I would put money on the notion of so-called 'wild caught' or 'captive hatched' babies that are exported to the US and other places are actually CBB from Ghana.

Sorry for the digression...we're all entitled to our opinions on the lottery...I personally feel like the lottery mentality takes advantage of some hoping for a morph...and Neil you've defended your position well and it is a very creative way to move a lot of normals, maybe such that it might be worth it to miss a few aberrants here and there ... its not like the aberrants/fancies are selling for that much more than the normals anyway...best of luck!
