heres a very interesting article that explains the whole process.

im amazed that they caught a 1000 fish in three days of fishing from the branch hiding places they built to attract discus in.

I'm sad everytime they catch so many fish from the wild.

Although I'm happy that they have managed to make it more fair and equitable to the farmers, I question the sustainable part. How many fish needs to breed in order to sustain a catch of 1000 every 3 days.

Heiko Bleher was not too thrilled about not being mentioned at all in the article I noticed. Either way, great read.
