Good to hear from you Max!

Some of us were just asking about you the other day! Hope all is good on your end!

Ek, thank you for the kind words. Life is very busy right now with job changes, hurricanes, and extended family. I enjoyed the rest while Ken Steblein was president of HLA and I am looking forward to being president of HLA again if elected. I think the club is somehow more legetimate now that it has had two different presidents. Thanks Ken.

I brought home a beautiful pair of Gold Wag Lyretail Sailfin Mollies, a pair of Velifera, Green Lyretails, Silver Lyretails and Silver non-Lyretails, Green Sailfins from San Antonio, and a variety of Green Sailfin that develops a small swordtail.
I am so thrilled with these fish from Goliad Farms; those who missed the event missed a special auction.
There were some Goodieds, Killies, Platys, Guppys...a really fine variety of beautiful fish.:emt_thumbs:
