Take a trip to Sydney Andrew if you want the latest and greatest spectacular
Pleco's. And Koi, well, to the untrained eye their just BIG goldfish. I just
cant wait until I go to Sydney for the ANGFA convention. I'm actually
thinking a running fish lovers shopping tours for the fishkeeper who has
everything but wants more. I even going to serve champagne and horsee
douves. I'm going to serve sardine sandwiches without the sardines - that'll
be something different - I'll think I'll call them ANCA sandwiches.

Don't rush, there will be plenty of buses!

You know, lately I've been having this recurring nightmare that has "Men in
Black" wearing sunglasses, holding fish nets and plastic bags in their hands
and watching my every move and you know what, one of them looks very much
like Peter Unmack.
