I got them for a total of 1.08. Each was .36. Also, will they breed cause I have 2 large ones and a small one.

I have heard they need many small animals to breed and usually dont in aquariums.

I need to know for sure as I was wanting to maybe breed them and sell them.

You would have to establish plenty of micro food. There usually bred in ponds.

Not really hlping.... sorry

You would have to get them plenty of food. But big breeders usually breed them in ponds. I would use RCS if you want to breed.

Like what size tank.... as I don't have a pnd but I used to....

I dont know size for breeding. But you would need to establish pleny of micro organisms. I have read you can have a colony of RCS in a 10 gallon.
