I also want to add. You mentioned having a local breeder. If you can convince him to sell you tadpoles, that would give you a lot more time to build. But it's more than that. I was very fortunate to have Lynn gift me my mint tads (and my variabillis tads), and i'll tell you what, raising those tads and watching them grow has been the most rewarding experience I have had in this hobby. I mean, a lot of dart keepers raise tads to sell, but to raise the ones you will look at everyday and have that connection to, it is very cool, to say the least.
