Tom I would like to say that I share a lot of your beliefs in fish keeping no matter what species you are keeping and with everyone having their strong points I think you are a much better teacher than I and so with that I will say congratulations
Jeanne
Cheers Tom!
Congrats!!!
Well earned recognition Tom...your generous info sharing and the excellent knowledge & experience you bring have really enhanced forum life. The stand outs for me are your eye for quality, commitment to process, but the most outstanding attribute is your desire for others to succeed...you're a truly honorable human! Blessings mate!
Wow I am lost for words and humbled .
I feel like a beginner with the flat fish !
I want to thank everyone for the kind words even if some of you stretched the truth a little !
I do want others to enjoy fish as I do and this forum is more then just fun for me .
Fish are more then a hobby for me ..They are part of everyday in my life for the last 10 plus years.
I have kept fish since I was in 6th grade and had a 6 foot tank since I was 20 but most of the time it was just a thing in my home .
I learn here with almost every post I read and enjoy seeing what everyone else does and has . I love seeing how many have successful spawns or such awesome fish !
You all may not know but often I have more questions then answers when I read some post but that is part of the fun and learning .
I am honored to feel appreciated ,that like quality fish is a key to our lives I think .
Thank you guys and girls very much ,what a nice thing to come home to .You all have made me really feel like I fit in and I appreciate it .
