Some breeders/exporters will only sell the male species of fish/critters as a way of trying to hold a semi-monopoly on a species.

I would have no problems selling the young angel’s (or any young fish I happen to breed if he wants them) to the LFS. I think there would be a better market in gourami’s or pleco’s (especially the dwarf pleco’s as they only order the sailfin pleco’s) though, as neither arrive here […]
