Going to Germany and Glasers of course

[apistodave]

End of July I am going to Germqany to visit my friend Uwe. It is of course a party and collecting trip. I already have some great fish waiting on me, including one that everyone will be amazed to see. Any suggestions, for fish of course and no promises. On a sad note, a really great guy and a great aquarist and friend of mine in Germany has recently died-Frank Wilhelm, the world is the lesser for this.

Hi Dave,
Very sad indeed to hear about the death of Frank Wilhelm. I hadnt met Frank but the fish i received from him(and Nadja) via Uwe have been superb specimens. Some superb breeding achievements during his work with Apistogramma.
I think i know of the fish that "Everyone will be amazed to see".... Fingers crossed i will get some also in the near future. Quite exciting....
Cheers,
Mark...

Sorry to hear the Herr Wilhem has passed. Enjoy your trip to Germany, but I guess that means that you will not be at the ACA convention this year.

Yes--Nadja of course keeps things going--in fact they are in the process of moving things again--newer more modern etc> Frank passed peacefully, but suddenly just sitting their-Uwe was practically on his way over there--we will go visit in July of course--my July is wiped out Ted from the 17th on.

Uwe needs a nikon d-700 body if anyone can help it would be appreciated

Camera prices are so much less expensive in the USA for some reason. Just buy a D700 here in the US and take it to him. I did something similar when I went to Peru. Just check to see if you can get an international warantee to take with you.

I know the Germans used to make the best now I gotta take him camera equipment

Hi,

I'm very sad to hear that Frank has passed.
He was really a great guy and breeder and he always has been a very helpful and hospitable man as the rest of the family Wilhelm.

regards,
Rolo

Dave,

Think you can get some Pelvicachromis suboccelatus Matadi? I'd like a couple of pairs. I think they are easier to get in Europe (tank bred fish).
