I have already gone on record (elsewhere on this forum and on other forums) that I am retiring from the group buy game. Too much work. There are some established keepers of high end fish out there who have done group buys. They will know what I mean when I say it is a hell of a lot of work for a questionable rate of return. But it has been fun to do while I have taken a two year leave of absence from my job in Canada to travel the world...all following a nasty little health scare. Nuff said.
I return to live in Canada within 6 months and will be getting involved in some way, shape, or form in the CONVENTIONAL retail/wholesale of Asian arowanas. More on that later.
I will also be publishing A LOT of articles on the Asian arowana scene in SEAsia.
Finally, there are some upcoming contests I am arranging for
www.arowanaclub.ca that should "knock your socks off." Some of the people and business owners I am networking with here are in a position to contribute AMAZING prizes for...well let's just say a contest that goes beyond having to be lucky at guessing the price of gold!
I am single minded in my determination to grow the arowana hobby in Canada. If I get carried away in my bias for any given fish supplier, well so be it.
Personally, I am quite happy with how this site is developing. I also welcome frank criticism and mature discussion/debate.
