Alberto,

You are a man of many talents. After reading your thread from your first post all the way to #944, I admire your accomplished work and the accomplished work of your family, friends and neighbors. You are a shinning example of what can be accomplished with a vision, perseverance, determination, and a endearing love for your wet pets.

During this fabulous reading from all who have contributed to it, some questions have came to mind and I am curious about the answers, so without further delay, here are my questions:

1] Why did you start creating these natural environments for your fish?

2] When was the very first lake/pond started and how long did it take to accomplish it before you started the initial green house for your fish?

3] How many plants did you first begin with, when you created your lakes and ponds?

4] When you thin-out your plants from your many lakes and holding tanks in your green house, what do you do with them?

5] Do you give the excess plants away to other fish keeper's?

6] Or are the excess plants used for some other purpose?

7] Do you sell or trade any plants or fish to any local fish shops for fish food or new fish to add to your stock?

8] Do all of your aquatic plants originate from rivers and streams close to your home?

9] Do you have future plans for additional construction, or are you going to coast a while and get use to dealing with what you currently have?

10] Your Hedge-hug is quite adorable? What are your plans for the hedge-hog? Has Gaspar met the hedge-hog yet? What are his reactions to the hedge-hog?

You are an admiration to us all. Your spirit and attitude is very commendable. It is an excellent example to everyone that with patience and a positive attitude, much can be accomplished. Your family, (your parents, wife and childen) must be very proud of what you have done. You should be extremely proud of yourself for what you have accomplished. We are grateful to you in wanting to share your experiences and your many week-ends with us on MFK. It truly has been a very enjoyable read and experience for me. May you have much prosperity through out your endeavor and we look forward to reading more from you when you find the time.

Sincerely,
~David

1] If your plants are not native from local streams and rivers close to your home, did you purchase them from your Local Fish Shop?

2] Why did you choose the plants you have?
