i am back from a 10 yr sabatical from the hobby and i am very eager to get involed again in the past 10 yr i have lost all my resources and now i am in the process to rekindle my friendships in the hobbie. Man it has changed alot. I now have 15 aquariums set up 150 gallon plant tank 65 hex planted tank nd 29 plant tank and several variuos sized old fashion stinless steel quariums .now i am setting up a small fishroom of about 20 small aquariums mostly 10s and 5s i do have some interesting endlers that are starting to produce for me . i want to start broadening my horizons and start working with some more wild type species of livebearers i am also interested in some good sowrd tail wild and domestic. so if someone could be kind enough to point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome back! If you've joined the ALA, you'll receive a copy of 'The Trader' with your membership and have access to the online classifieds. There's also a yearly convention. Otherwise, check out a local fish club if you have one.

Welcome back to the hobby Drichman.
I just got my copy of the Trader in the mail last week. As Mel said, all registered club members receive the Trader a few times each year during good shipping weather and the club newsletter as well. I am also going to be working with the webmaster here to publish a copy of the Trader in the members only area of the forum.
I have attended the last 2 conventions and do not intend to miss any from here out if at all possible. People like Gerard take on a whole new identity when you get to meet them in person. The convention's auction is a great place to pick up rare fish and to sell off any surplus you may have to other members who are looking for things they don't already have. You could think of it as a typical club auction but rich in livebearers of almost any kind imaginable.
