Hi,
I became aware of your existence via theAquatic Digest (seaplace) web group. I am also a member of the IUCN freshwater fish specialist group and have a background in aquarium design/installation/consulting. Among other fishy things MTI, my employer, offers a formal qualifcation in aquarium husbandry that is government recognised and funded here in New Zealand which I wrote and lead.
On top of that I am chairman of the NZ Companion Animal Council which is an umbrella group of animal welfare organisations. Needless to say I push the “fish welfare barrow”. I also sit on the NZ biosecurity committee presently looking at the biosecurity risk posed to NZ by the pet trade and in particular the aquarium trade. As a part of that we are investigating the establishment of a number of aquatic animal rehoming centers as a way of reducing the biosecurity risk of unwanted fish finding their way in to the environment. There is also an animal welfare aspect of course.
I would very much like to strike up a conversation with you and perhaps we can be of assitance to one another. My email addresses are nativefish@mti.net.nz or david@mti.net.nz(work) and aquarium@xtra.co.nz (home).
happy for others with any interest to contact me as well.
Found you! 😉 http://imgur.com/XV3MXnu
Can you please help me re-home a 24″ iridescent shark? It is now outgrowing a 125 gal. tank and really needs a very large tank or indoor pond. Located in St Charles IL. Thank You.
