2019 is quickly approaching and we are gearing up for our trip back to Colombia. This means checking our gear and getting the fishroom ready. There is a lot to do before we leave. We need to organize all of our old gear and decide what we will take again this year and what can stay home. We also purchased new gear, which we hope will provide us with the tools we need to catch not only fish but also the photos and video we wish to share with all of you.
The fishroom will be expanding to prepare for the fish we find while in Colombia and plan to bring home. We are making arrangements to set up over 500 gallons more of aquariums including eight 50 breeder aquariums along with twelve 10 gallon aquariums. For those wondering, the fish we bring back go through all of the proper channels being exported from Colombia and then imported into the United States and checked by Fish and Wildlife.
This hobby is a labor of love. It takes a lot of time and energy. You have to have a passion for the fish you keep. The correct preparation is key. A big thanks goes to Hernando Gil and Ted Judy for organizing these trips. We would not be able to go without them organizing the trip. So we also thank you both for your work.
We share some photos both old and new from 2018. Until 2019, check out our YouTube.com channel: AmazonTropics.com
