i'd like to buy T's from slings in the future. it's a more fulfilling experience to raise it from a sling, and they are way cheaper than larger ones, obviously. it seems like a lot of people tend to buy T's from a very small size.
but you don't know if it's going to be a female. if it's a male, it'll die significantly sooner. (also they're often not as big as females, and they're not worth as much money).
if you breed them, or are dealing with a species with beautiful MM coloration, it's a different story, but i'm just gonna be keeping (at least many) T's as pets/display animals.
one could buy multiple slings (2 gives a 3/4 chance of getting a female, 3 gives a 7/8, 4 gives a 15/16, etc.) but that seems kind of wasteful.
i'm wondering how various people deal with a 50% chance of a sling being a lot less than perfect...
