I guess more "Bang" for the buck I guess...But with the scare of KHV around the corner it is not only the breeders who need to take precaution with fish, but agents too...the way of getting a good price is if the fish is alive!!! a fish bought at any amount and got infected with KHV is now worthless...just something to think about....
