You made it sound easy! I may have to give this a shot, and $11 is very affordable. Holidays really hurt my purse.
I actually have some marimo balls just hanging out in one of my 10 gallons. Though I really appreciate the offer. You have been very helpful.
I'll look that guy up on ebay later. I need to wait for payday even at $11.. I went overboard getting people things.
As an aside, a lady I work with complained today she is tired of her 36 gallon hexagon tank. I jokingly said she could give it to me and she asked when I could pick it up. It's raining tanks! I need a bigger house.
Only issue with it is that she has two cichlids in it. They really need a bigger space and I am not a huge fan of aggressive fish, though I find them very pretty. She doesn't even know what kind they are.. just said "one blue and one yellow". Assuming they are african cichlids. I'll have to post pics when I get them to maybe identify them so I can rehome them.

Sorry if i miss spelled somethin or it doesnt make sence i typed this all on my iphone
I got my eggs from a guy on eBay called jewelery ablazed he is a real nice guy my first batch I ordered never hatched and he sent me another order free of charge even though I didn't hatch them when I was suppose to. I got 50 eggs for $11 ( I think his prices went up due to the economic now tho) out of the 50 I have about 15 the size and with color like the one above and 4 more with no color yet.... To me thats not that bad since my LFS sells some dull colored ones for $12 a piece when I can raise these and get my money back selling them if I get to many...but I read it's hard to overcrowd these fish since in nature there is hundreds in small water puddles where they are found.
As for difficulty it's real easy tbh all I did was buy a small airstone and pump filled a 10 gallon tank with about 2 inches of water tossed in so
me nano Marino balls (If you would like some when/if you get some I would Be glad to send you a couple) tossed in a few bladder snails to clean the waste (also to breed for my yo yo loaches) and then just tossed on the container with eggs and they hatched FYI don't remove the dirt or move the fish and remove the water from where you hatched them because some hatch later then others I still have some being born even tho most hatched a few weeks ago. He also send some artimia shrimp eggs to hatch for food for them.
