Dicrossus maculatus- Gauging interest

Members
I have 3 female captive-bred Dicrossus maculatus who are starting to mature. I was thinking of selling them, but wanted to gauge interest. These fish aren't cheap- wild caught usually go for $20-$30 a fish and are usually 90% male because the collection strategy seems to miss females almost entirely.

If there isn't good interest, I will add them to my adult group. If someone is interested, please let me know and we can talk pricing.

I do have one "extra" male that I could part with, but most folks who have these fish don't need more males, they need more females. Males spawn with several females and do not help rear fry. I have only ever had success with these in tanks with 2:1 or higher F:M ratio when I pull fry shortly after they are free-swimming.
