Thanks for welcoming me to your home today Piet!

What an unbelievable collection of Fish, cycad's and Chihuahua's (lol) that you have!

Too those who say it's not possible to grow a fish to good size in a concrete pond, well this man has the best soragoi I have seen, it's got unbelievable gin rin as well as is a blue\grey that you wont believe.

He bought this fish when it was 20-25cm, and has had it for just under 4 years in a 30kl pond, max depth 1.7m in the deep end and it's an impressive 82cm and it's an absolute tank!

The gin rin showa's you got from Costa are also out fo this worl and that ki utsuri is also very special!

You cycad collection is unbelievable and am shocked at some of the things you told me about them, the fact that you have outside baths for bathing\cleaning your cycad's is something I never thought i'd hear in this lifetime....lol

Then your little chihuahua's are also so very cute....a little teacup chihuahua that could fit in your hand....lol

All in all a very enriching day, I enjoyed our conversations............always nice to sit and chat with someone who thinks along the same lines that I do, that always makes for good conversation and it was enjoyable!

thanks again Piet!!
