I purchased this pair last spring, battled a disease when they first arrived. By the time I got them healthy and spawning I found out I was moving to Alaska. I mailed them to anchorage the day after their first spawn. That was in May. They spent the summer in a fish store display tank while I worked. I picked them up in August when I got to Fairbanks AK. They are currently on there second spawn here and it looks like this pair will be the best pair of Black and Whites I have ever owned. I expect to see them put down nests of 1000 or more eggs in the near future. Very glad they were one of the pairs that made it to AK with me.
