Desperately searching for Blueberry tetras. Need to be shipped to Kansas. Any local breeders willing to ship?
Becca, congratulations on spawning the Blueberry Tetra. The only other person I know to have done so is Regina Spotti. Selfishly, I hope you have more to enter into auctions.
Hello Becca,
This is to confirm you are being awarded 20 points for your blueberry tetra fry.
Thanks,
Raychel

At least 12 fry remaining at this point (60-90 days) - sold the 6 largest last week.
Also fast and difficult to photograph.
