Hello,

fortunately, in the times today with internet and e-mail I think it's fantastic, that we can communicate wilth almost all interested people in the world.

So the german loach group in the IG BSSW can exchange with loaches-online and lol-forum, so both will have a benefit of.

Regards,
Gerhard
