Amazing how kids are often so in touch and have such a passion for fishes. Especially when they aren't exposed to fishes or even when they are. So refreshing to see that new generations continue to learn more about origins, care, breeding and effects on the environment. Fascinating interview, thanks Randy. Suddenly I want to be a 45 year old Spanish speaking plumber. Just need to learn Spanish and change careers next year.
