    Glad you are back and had a good trip to your sons Phil and your tank as survived,its amazing what fish they have in the markets in HK i stopped over when i went to Oz in the early 80s and it was same then no pics were allowed its as if they have something to hide which they have in the way they keep the fish as you say its not changed then. Hows the Sailfin these days hope hes ok and recovered from his change over. Twiggy
