Hey Stick! how u been? It will be some awhile .... these guys are young. I'll document my progress here starting with getting a pair (or hopefully two!) out of these and hopefully through spawning and raising them.

I've been good. Just getting back into the hobby after a long break. I am glad to see some familiar faces though. Good luck, I know they'll turn out well.
