Happy New Year to all the people who've supported me throughout the years!
I hope that the economy will be better this year, more fish for everyone to keep and that all the fish people can get along!
I want to set the record straight, for all these years of dealing with fish and fish people, I've never done anything malicious to anybody, not a business or hobbyist and I hope that all the people who read this can do the same.
People need to realize, a healthy debate is good, sharing of fish is fun, but after all its still a hobby. Its important to keep it light and fun. If I've offended anyone in the years, I want to be the first one to apologize.
My future endeavors for keeping fish will hopefully lead me to finding more new fish in the years to come. I will certainly deal less with selling/importing/exporting fish, as that is not where my heart is.
With the advent of internet, fish have become much more accessible. I remember 12 years ago when internet was still in its infancy, it was much harder to obtain fish. Many of the fish you see in this thread, I had to fly to different countries to bring them back myself. Now most people take this for granted, unfortunately.
I am glad that digital photography is so advanced now that many fish memories can be immortalized in photo, where as back then I had a 1 megapixel camera I bought at Target to capture fuzzy memories.
Cheers to everyone!
