Dear Mr. Rice:

My name is Robert Smith and I have recently become a member of NFC.  I am

very interested in the Breeders Program and Adopt A Tank program.  I have
yet 
to receive any acknowledgment of becoming a member or any information in 
becoming active within these programs.

I am very experienced in fish keeping.  I currently have 2 saltwater
tanks in 
which I have successfully raised corals of all types, marine fish and 
invertebrates, as well as 3 moray eels.  I also have 2 freshwater tanks
in 
which I have successfully kept cichlids, killifish, gobies, native
Florida 
fish of all types, as well as, a variety of true aquatic plants.

I have yet to accomplish my goal in fish keeping.  I want to start
seriously 
breeding fish.  For the last seven years I have been interested in many
fish 
that are not readily available, if at all here in central Florida.  As I
have 
researched the fish that I am interested in, I have found that many are 
native fish.  My dream is to raise Darters.  There are so many excellent 
types and I would like to begin breeding them.
This is why I joined your organization, I thought that I would be able to

gain valuable knowledge from your members, have a source in which I could

obtain these fish, as well as become part of the effort to ensure that 
Darters thrive and are abundant for many years to come.

I am not sure if there is something else I need to do in order to
complete my 
request to become a member.  I have already paid the membership fee.  If
you 
would please instruct me on and other information that may be needed to 
complete my membership process or provide information on how to access 
information pertaining to the above mentioned issues, I would appreciate
it.

Thank you.

Robert D. Smith
