Lawrence Kent's INCREDIBLE Central & West African RARE FISH COLLECTION, ALL IN A HUGE COMMUNITY TANK

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

Thank you so much to Lawrence Kent of Seattle WA for showing us just one of his incredibly beautiful and rare collection of African Freshwater Fish! He has traveled the globe for decades to find fish just like these.
Lawrence is also responsible for establishing breeding populations of many Central & West Africa Species of Fish. Both I and the Aquarium Hobby at large, owe him an immense debt of gratitude.

    Video of the actual fish begins just before the 3 minute mark. I may over dub this with species info, but i was listening to Matt & Andy speak with Lawrence about African oddball or rare fish, and slowly listing the species we saw... let me know if you would like to see that instead. Thanks Y'all!

Can I post a KZread video that's unlisted and give you the link and have you take a look at it and ask what you think? I can email you the link I think I remember your email from a video you posted.
