<p>You are correct, it is very hard to contact anyone there.</p>
<p>I have not contacted FFF yet, I need to call them first thing in the morning, that's the only time I have been able to talk to someone. My day job has kept me very busy lately.</p>

<p>If getting advanced catfish fingerlings, they put fewer per bag/box (somewhere between 15-25 depending on size.)</p>
