Hi all,
I agree Christian that we meed yo discuss political topics that has an effect on our hobbies but not get on our soap boxes and rave on. I learnt the hard way not to rave on about politics I lost some good friends because of my opinion about politicians. There are people who are offended easly and we have to consider their feelings also. They are all there for one thing and it is not for the good of the country they are serving. It doesn’t matter who you vote for it is always a politician that gets elected. Anyway enough of this garbage and onto something else.
Thankyou to all the people who have posted on this forum over the years it has been very enjoyable and I have learned a lot about Rainbowfish.
Regards
Ken

Hi everyone,
Well said, Andrew.
I think we cannot only speak about the five blue line of such melano
or the 13 spots of a Mogurnda :). We must also know about several
subjects. Even it is not the way of this forum, politics has an
influence about our babies in nature and we can talk about it.
I will say that if government of Madagascar had a good environemental
and social politic, maybe the Bedotias of Christophe would be less
endangered. If Australia had not introduce rabbits, the well known
problem of their quick invasion would not have happened. And these
are only two samples (think of the mexican goodeids and many others).
I know that climate is warming up but in Belgium and I'm happy to
have trouts and salmons in the rivers. Even if I like rainbows, I
won't be happy to can set them in my outdoor pond :).
Anyway it's important to know about the ecological problems and their
political causes and proposed solutions
Now return to the fish : I've found a wonderful Melanotaenia parva
school. They are F2 from wild. Very pretty fish.
Cheers
Christian
