Hi,
this is Heiko Bleher and I was just informed about this Mr. David. It is really amazing what some people WITHOUT CHECKING THE FACTS - write today on forums, really amazing. It shows for the complete superficial ignorance of some, but definitely of this Mr. David.
Normally I do not waste my time for such ignorance, but as I was kindly asked - and I must thank all of those who here have helped to talk sense and facts, thank you again - so I will make just a few comments of what and where this Mr. has NOT LOOKED OR READ before he talks wrong things:
1. On our own website :
www.aquapress-bleher.com, it states clearly what happened (and not what the Brazilan media of the PF, or IBAMA published, those are not the fscts) and what we (my wife and myself) are accused of:
http://www.aquapress-bleher.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=285&Itemid=56
and if this Mr. David is able to read, and takes the time for it (before he talks again), than he can read the 3 accusations made by the PF are based ONLY on GENETIC MATERIAL and we had NO GENETIC MATERIAL, just some preserved fishes in Formaldehyde (if he knows what this is, if not ask your vet, he will tell you), for identification of that species and to understand to help better this world's aquatic biodiversity (what my family has done for 3 generations - what has Mr. David done for it?).
So the accusations are wrong and false. And possibly that is why the judge has not UNTIL TODAY asked to hear us (we were never heard since two years ago - since August 2008 - and we were 3 times in Brazil since). We have never been asked to come to the court, as there is NO CASE against us, except for the PF accusation, for which the judge has to decide if he wants to make a trial out of it or not. We believe it will be archived, as there is no case. (Except for a Mr. David, or some other jealous people, or those who do not want to do their correct research and read before they open their mouth and spit out trash and invent lies, as here done).
One can also read about it under:
http://www.cichlidae.com/article.php?id=309
Or buy PFK issues 9 of September 2009, and issue 10 of October, 2009, there he can read "The truth about
my imprisonment in Brazil last year..." in each issue time on page 130)
2. And PFK is - BY FAR - the very best aquarium fish magazine now in the world, and not only because I write for them in each issue 4 articles - monthly - and respond for questions, but also because the new editor, Matt Clark, has changed it completely and it has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OLD PFK ANYMORE (and this is where i agree to what is written here, the old PFK was bad but not anymore since Matt is the editor, only the best people in the entire world write for it, not as TFH or any other aquarium magazine today).
The information you get from today's PFK NO ONE WILL GET IN THE WORLD-WIDE WEB, that is for sure (but there are still some guys that belive everything and only what is written in the web).
AND because you (Mr. David who knows, as it seems, all), do NOT NEED TO READ PFK, you cannot know that PFK brought a two-issue article (mentioned the issues above) about what happened in Manuaus and they knows VERY WELL AND MUCH BETTER AND CORRECTLY WHAT HAPPENED, as they published it.
So much for your ignorance and waste of time to write to editors instead of reading what is available for very little money.
And again, PFK has at least 3, mostly 4 and more of my articles for years, every month and not just now. You only have to look at PFK, since 2006 and you will see...
Again so much for your ignorance and talking lies here on this forum before you consult yourself. Or the administrator if you can post such false accusations.
One can also see, if it is still of interest after such a long time and digging out 2 year old things just to be able to talk bad abouyt some one else, mainly the scientific community wrote immerdietly after August 29th, 2008:
http://www.aquapress-bleher.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=286&Itemid=1
At the end, I just would like to know wht the two guys talking so bad about me, have against me - is it just jealousy? Or is it real ignorance and having naothing else to do than write bad about others without getting the probper information?
And WHAT HAVE YOU MR. DAVIDW and Mr. T1KARMANN, except for bad mouthing others?
This is a stingray thread, you all would really learn something about stingrays, never published anywhere before, if you would instead of wasting your precious life (you only have one) by talking bad about others, learn something for the most beautiful hobby in the world.
And at the end, for those here who wrote "No Academic", I have studied all I wanted to study in Universities around the world (and I give lectures all the time at Universities, you can see on my website where and when), but never wanted a PHD, especially when I saw how some get it... And I could have gotten a lot, very easy, but as I never wanted to work for anyone, I definitely do not need it. I do never need it, to write "Dr." or whatever, as I am (and knowing what I know), I am respected within the entire scientific community around the globe what fishes is concerned, I am asked and questioned and I publish quarterly surely the best peer reviewed Ichthyoilogical Journal around the world (since 1994), aqua, International Journal of Ichthyology:

That is enough, and thank you Jeffrey and Toby,
