Does anyone know what the deal is with those or where they are actually coming from.

-Kaifu Island



Has anyone bred them yet?

- No captive breedings have been reported



And why are they so much cheaper than CB yellow bloodlines like lemontrees?

-Yellow bloodlines are proven though generation to generation. No one knows if they stay yellow. Until we see a gravid yellow female, we have no idea. Though they do seem to retain their yellow color much longer than any other "locality" chondro, yet.



I would have thought they would be outrageously expensive. Is it just because they are WC?

-It's because no one knows if they will retain their yellow color. There are many theorys, but no one knows for sure. I suspect a large part of why they are so inexpensive is because they are WC animals and not many people who have high end chondro collections would want to risk a wc animal in their collection. I have also seen very few "Kaifu" chondros that look in decent health, they are few and far between. If you do find a nice one, that is healthy and has substantial weight on it they will fetch a pretty penny. Even as much as a high yellow sub adult (2-4k)



Hope this helps.
