Hey Stephanie!!

Can we start a new post with a list of the committee members and the area they are covering, When you do that I will build a new area for rescue's only and the team can be listed there with contact information etc.

Just got this email today, thought id pass it along

Just wanted to say I'm glad someone besides myself has finally stepped up to do something like this.... I'm an avid ichthiologist as well as fish enthusiast and breeder since I was small, and I take in fish all the time from people who don't get enough information about the type of fish they buy and end up with either something they can't deal with due to water/chemical restrictions or requirements or are completely incompatible with their existing environment. It seems more and more individuals are becoming involved in aquatics in almost every aspect of aquatics, but not enough people get enough information (or bother to) beforehand, then think that these animals are totally expendable.Anyways, I give a big double thumbs up to you, and if you ever need any assistance, feel free to email me,

Props for the last post.
I'm with ya 100 % on that.If people actually took the time to research BEFORE jumping in...There wouldnt be a need for the great people like urselves that are willing to take in these mistreated or misunderstood "pets".
Cheers to all involved for your hard work and effort .I know it isnt easy.Just a sign of recognition when its due :cheers:
