My ultimate goal has always been to give back to the hobby and I am finally
getting to the point where I can do that. I want to give back to the hobby
in the following ways.
1. Educate people interested in the hobby. I have learned a lot from
many people and I welcome the opportunity to teach others.
2. Breed my fish and make them available to others. I will sell or trade
my fish. If I sell it will be at a proce not to make a profit, but to cover
my costs for food and suppplies.
I think Roy has done wonders for the propigation of rainbows in the US and
for the record he does NOT over charge for fish. Keeping a lot of fish (
and he keeps a lot more fish than anyone in know) is very time consuming and
expensive, but add to that the cost of going to OZ,gettting the fish out of
OZ, and getting them into the US the cost quickly skyrockets.
