Looking for benthic babies

Anyone have any benthic babies that are old enough to ship? I'd love to get my hands on a decent priced group for my 75 I'm setting up soon.

Not sure just what you are looking to accomplish as a 75 is not too suitable for babies although you could house 4-6 adult erectus in it depending on your equipment and husbandry regime.
If you were to buy a bunch of fry, you have no guarantee of how many will live, especially if you haven't raised fry before. If you do have experience then it can also be dependant on how they were looked after before.
If you have great success then you would end up having to find homes for the excess.
In any case, I can't ship because I live in Canada and would need a Cites permit.
