As bad as I hate to admit it you do have a point,-in-one time I thought I
would be able to maintain several species but after being retired somewhat
unexpectedly I am down to breeding nothing but crayfish and I only have them because
they respond well to benign neglect. Most individuals simply do not have the
long term resources to maintain and breed a species in captivity with any
reliability.
