Re: SF BAKA's new web pages <www.sfbaka.net>
Hi Wright,
just thought you might like to check my web site which is still
being constructed for me and notice the fish along the right. side.
http://www.tdbettasand.addr.com/spawningmop/
This is not the official site, it is being worked on and will move
to thefishwizards.com my attempt to join the digital world with the help
of others . I just do pictures and fish.........
that's enough for me........
