Ratio System
When viewing fish there will be a set of numbers within the tittle. The first number corresponds to males, and the second, females. For example if you see 1:2, this mean for every three fish of that particular species purchased, you will receive 1 male and 2 females. If only 2 fish are purchased, you will receive 1 male and 1 female.
(1:1) 1 male to 1 female ratio
(1:2) 1 male to 2 female ratio
(1:3) 1 male to 3 female ratio
(4:8 Group) 4 males to 8 females
