You are not the first to ask me for a pair. I wish i could spare you one, but i only have 4 males. This may not seem to bad, but my 20 females need lovein too! :wub:

They can be a pain to breed. Females can be very aggressive at times. I consider myself lucky i bred them for so many generations.

Thanks. Fixed it. That makes sense.
