I met a Hikari rep!

I was at my LFS shooting the breeze and in walks a very professional-looking asian guy with a leather notebook tucked under his arm. He'd just come in from a huge freshwater fish show in Germany! This guy has the job of all jobs. His life involves flying from event to shop to event, spreading news about Hikari and seeing all kinds of amazing things. Nice guy, too. Shook my hand as I was leaving.

Yes, I'd thought about questioning him about the corn fillers in half of the food, but I didn't want to start anything at my favorite LFS, so I totally played nice. He did mention that some foods will soon be made newly available to the US. A color-enhancing micro wafer for one, and I forget if he mentioned any others or not.

He knows JohnPTC and helped him move one of his 'paimas, too. I met a star!

Don't let these guys get to you. Hikari is a big name in the fish industry and not everyone gets to meet a rep so good on you!

LOL those guys are nuts. My rep once asked me what I would personally pay for one of the Fluval Vicenza tanks...I told him he'd have to pay me, because there's no way I would put 65 gallons of water on a particle board stand.

I haven't met any Hikari reps, but that is exciting to meet some new people in the industry.
