Over 200 pages done in one day. I have read through threads half this size and taken a week.
I learned lots through this and have a few take aways.
1- I have heard about Wes and have read some of his lists. Very amazing stock like no one else- very clear write ups and really draws you into the fish, so easily the best list available in USA. But this thread really put some background into why people (including myself) hold such a high respect for Wes. Very well done Sir (slow clap)

what an inspiring journey, thank you for sharing it with us.
2- now I want a bb grouper

and some leptobotia elongata not necessarily for the same tank.
amazing- a true hero of our hobby. He’s dedicated a good portion of his life to making it possible that we could have these never even seen before fish in our tanks. Hats off, standing ovation.
