I will be at MASI Thursday and can bring you A. cac. 'Sunburst'. They are basically an aorange flash with more color. There are images inthe apisto gallery at www.tedsfishroom.com

Bummer. I have been out-of-town and just made it in town before the meeting last night.

Thanks for the offer, but I didn't have a chance to respond. I am surprised the orange blaze is so hard to find.

Thanks for the presentation last night. I agree with your and Mike's idea of generating more "breeders" to expand the hobby and the populations.

One thing for you guys to keep in mind is your knowledge is at the Phd level, and many of us are in the first grade. My suggestion is that if you want to increase the number of people breeding fish, we have to start with better knowledge and simplistic approaches. Not everyone will keep 10 kinds of live food going,...etc.

For example I started with Apistos and have barely figured out the orange blaze/triple red caca's etc. I am raising a few white cory's but still lose most after they are "hatched". I know the answers..water changes, water from other tanks, flow, etc. but success is another matter. Knowledge is power, and folks like me have a long way to go, and I have been trying to acquire more knowledge for years. My next challenge is raising Panda Corys, and I bet it will take two years. Mike has been a great asset through his information-sharing, willingness to go out of his way to help, and most of all - his kindness. I have never seen him be snobby to anyone.

I would have sent this as a private message but couldn't figure that one out either! I clicked on private messages, but...oh well.

Thanks again for your presentation. You are a brave soul to venture into the jungles of a foreign land.
