This is exactly how Hides thinks business in native fish should be done,
via shops and commercial breeders and not by hobbyists like you and I.
Hides gave himself away in his first post, he is (or was) a used car
dealer. That SAYS it all. He would sell his mother if he thought he
could make $$ out of it. I have no doubt that he is very interested in
Australian fish, however I don't think it is for their welfare, it's for
his pocket these days. I don't care if someone makes money out of fish,
just as long as they don't step on everyone else in the process like he
is trying to do.
In many respects I have not helped this at all, but I would suggest that any
of his posts just get ignored. As he says, "he is a stirrer" with a vivid
imagination.
