hey man,
i am getting to this thread late, but wanted to add my condolences on the loss of all these great fishes. we can all definitely empathize with you, and i hope you are able to get something started up again soon (obviously lots of logistics involved with that, but i hope you are able to move forward in the near future).
i don't step out of the gar forum that often, but i had to comment on this once i finally saw it. best of luck in the rebuilding, and i am very glad you did not decide to get out of the hobby (as we all often consider after such losses). i look forward to future updates--
