Hey Guys,

I recently got contacted by Dick Au. I was not sure who he was untile he told me that he speaks in ACA conventions etc and I googled him. He was getting into breeding EBJDs. He is expecting a set of fishes from one of his friend.

I asked him to join the forum.. and lets hope he does... his experiences into the Discus and cichlids should help us...

He just mailed me back and conveyed that he does not participate in forums as it leads to lot of things being misunderstood. he however seemed a very nice person. I will probably meet him in some convention. He is getting some BGs from a close friend of his and is expecting to grown them out. He said he would be breeding may be in couple of months....

I'll be at the ACA this year as well as at least one other member of this forum. We'll be sure to give him a smile and a handshake and make him welcome to possibly risk the internet based conversation...

Experience shared from a knowledgeable breeder is something I'm sure we could all benefit from...

Not sure who the guy is really, but would be nice to have any professional like this on board. Its odd how most professionals have the same general feelings about forums. I think this is a good place for all of us to learn from each other. Having the professionals involved ensures we have a sort of checks and balances system and it keeps our facts in check.

Perhaps he would be more inclined to join us if he knew of the potential for trades with others sharing similar interests.

Cole,

Since he was getting ebs and bgs and seemed like a pro, i even offered to trade since that would allow him to diverusfy gene pool. He did not seem inclined on that so I let it go... other than that not sure what else to say.....I will continue to keep in touch and see what he says...

I’ve talked to two different breeders who will not talk on forums. Both had about the same reason. If you don’t tell people what they want to hear they say you’re an ***hole… behind the mask of the internet people are often quick to judge and then make up a tale to justify their misjudgment… in the end the breeder’s reputation is challenged and their only crime was trying to help someone… best to not bother…

I hated that I couldn’t argue their point… The internet is like that all too often… damn the “internet mask”…

The internet info game is kinda touchy in my opinion. You get alot of peoples thoughts on things, some is good info, some okay.

You've kinda got to sort out the truth from it. Go with what makes sence from what you know. Go by information from people you trust I guess.

Yeah I agree...there is info to be had everywhere and much of it is contradictory. Good people like Dick Au and Marcelo Casacuberta should be able to determine fact from fiction pretty quickly and not let it bother them too much...I would think.

Anyway, did ya guys see Marcelo stopped back in?
Love it!
