Re: Future Direction of the AKA bring on the young people

[AUS62 at aol_com]

It is always well to encourage youngsters and many AKA members are doing just 
that. Don't be discouraged, Larry as the AKA has always averaged older 
hobbyists. This has been confirmed a number of times by our annual 
questionnaires (Please answer them as the BOT uses those statistics and 
information, honest). I don't know the reason but suspect it has to do with 
several factors such as killies are egg layers that require some special 
techniques and care and they tend to be difficult to obtain as they are not 
readily available in the fish stores. I believe EVERY killifish keeper I have 
met had commenced the tropical fish hobby with more simple fish and worked 
their way up (or down) to keeping killifish. 

Let's just spread the word and make the fish available. This technology has 
been a tremendous help and will continue to be even more important in the 
future. We must remember, however, this is only a much improved form of 
COMMUNICATION. The rest is up to us, so keep talking about killies and long 
live the AKA.
