Re: [Killietalk] New Congo shipment & other stuff

[Joe Bulterman <jbulterman at yahoo_com>]

So good to hear that more fish are making it into the hobby.  Funny, it always
seems like the Brits are doing this kind of importing.  But that could be my
imagination combined with the Khartoum Sun.  

I should be traveling to Southern Sudan before the end of August to search for
killies.  I found the right people to get me there safely and have the correct
paperwork.  

I need to do some research about Talapia fish farming.  When the fish ministry
in Sudan found out that I know a little about fish (emphasis on little, they
expressed great desire for me to help them in return them helping me with the
Nothos.  Any good sites for fish farming Talapia?

Baking away again in Margaritaville...
