Aeromonas hydrophila epidemic in Java Hi Bob I came across this article in the Jakarta Post on my flight home from Bali. According to the article 820 tons of goldfish worth about US$35 million died as a result. Better warn your friends if you have contacts who import fish from Java Indonesia. <You have just done so> The diving at Tulamben is still great!! <I'll bet. See you soon, hopefully on a dive trip.

Pet-fish livestock business Hello: My name is Richard and I am an American living in Shizuoka, Japan. I noticed from your resume that you have been a buyer. I am hoping to do that too and wondered if you had any advice, or better yet, leads. I have been selecting Koi for individuals in the US but would like to expand into tropical fish and start buying for wholesalers, etc. If you like tea, I would be happy to send you some in exchange for your valuable advice. (Shizuoka is famous for green tea) Thanks in advance Richard Davis <I am happy to help you. Can you explain a bit more re what it is you wish to do? Do you want to purchase freshwater livestock and Nishikigoi in Japan for distribution there? Or to ship, transship elsewhere? Or? Bob Fenner>
Re: Pet-fish livestock business 
Dear Dr. Fenner: <Just Bob please> Wow. Thanks for the very quick reply! In a nutshell, I'd like to buy in Asia and sell in the US. Up to now, I have been doing this on a very small scale by selecting high-grade Nishikigoi for clients in America. Now I don't even know if the job I am thinking of even exists but my dream is to go around Asia sourcing, selecting, and shipping ornamental fish for wholesalers in the Americas and Europe. Does this type of job exist?  <Mmm, yes... you are an example of it> Or do wholesalers in the US simply buy without checking beforehand. <Smart ones do not "buy w/o checking"... The larger players visit their suppliers, their facilities... You could become an intermediary. Have you worked out business, marketing plans for who your customers are, how you would service them? Bob Fenner>

Re: Intermediary: Pet-fish livestock business  Hello Bob: Could you name some larger players that buy in Asia and might need an intermediary? <Let me contact some friends in this capacity. In the meanwhile please study starting here: http://www.aquarama.com.sg/ and consider joining, going to Aquarama (likely the InterZoo in less than two weeks time in Germany is too late for you). We'll be talking. Bob Fenner> Richard
