RE: Germans

["Mroz, Tom" <tmroz@art-inc.com>]

I've always understood that because the Germans had extensive
colonization efforts in S.A., they had better access to these fish; even
better than we did here in the US.  I have read that the first neon
tetras in the US, for instance, came from Germany (on the Hindenburg, no
less)  They had already been brought to Germany and were beginning to
become available there at that time.  This association with S.A. would
certainly contribute/support their overall interest in S.A. fish.
