    Eddie,

    I do have an intention to write an Ornamental fish import and export handbook. How to prepare for export and quarantine. The book will also cover a topic on catching wild fishes plus wild quarantine....which of course I will personally relay my experience with lots of pictures to support.

    But after serious consideration, I think I will give up the idea or KIV the idea. Reason being......how many exporters are there in the world.....how many existing and how many would-be?

    Maybe a few hundreds....and not all understand English and not all that understand English will buy....just like discus book. In mathematical calculation, maybe less than a hundred would buy. And if the book comprises of 300 pages, how should I price it? Is it viable to proceed and print? I am sure to make a huge loss.....into tens of thousands...if I do.

    So maybe other types of book....

    Regards,
    Andrew

    Hey Francis, just started the P-G last week but I need to fast my fish this week. I am off to the Philippines for 2 weeks and the fish will be fed only flake once a day while I am gone.

    I'll let you know when I get back and restart.

    Take care my friend,

    Eddie,

    You could ask your family to soak the tetra-bits or flakes in a solution of P, products for 15 minutes and after that, seeve and keep the balance solution in the fridge for the next round and feed the dried food.....not too much though....

    Got the book Francis in perfect condition and I am reading it now. Whats up with the nuclear stuff and discus mutations near the beginning? I was sleepy when I started so I may have misread that?

    Mark must be talking about the introduction. That chapter discusses the origin of mutants. It is my hypothesis...and not a fact....

    Practically most of the mutants were spontaneously sprouted from Thailand though some may finally sprout in other parts of Malaysia.....page 10...and is an established fact the nuclear waste and radiation can mutate animals and my question was "Could the mutants be created through......"

    Thank you,
    Andrew

    Thank you Mark. You are welcome.

    In this internet world, it would be a pity if authors do not interact with readers.

    I enjoy it...A book published now.....should lead to interaction for life!

    Take care,
