Hey Guys,

here is my brief report on the past almost four weeks:

- On 10.11.2004. our big fish in exchange Hadamar
- Use the species at 11.04. Sun about 15.00 clock for about 8 days Zwischenhälterung of juveniles
- Depletion and loss of some species due to feeding irregularities , In plain language this means, it has been fed too much and in the Plastikeinhängekästen is a water exchange is not as good as even exist
- The planned dispatch on 20.04. but was delayed due to the flight ban indefinitely
from this point for me was daily phone calls and follow up as quickly as it announced an item during standard shipping
- 20.04. Replacement by Axel of three types - Thanks for this
- 26.04. Unfortunately, the planned start date moves again ... new attempt
- 30.04. finally, the expected confirmation - shipping date 05/05/2010
- 03.05. Preparation of bags for the planned transit
- 04.05. Pick out some species and provision in buckets for the next morning
- 05.05. 1.30 clock rising / dressing and off you go into the basement
1.55 clock beginning of the large capture efforts - and nearly 35 species
600 fish are herauszufangen and einzutüten.
6.30 Clock finished with the capture efforts and the nerves.
7.15 clock after a shower and two cups of coffee is going to Cichlidenstadl Bühl direction. Once there, the boxes are unloaded and unpacked again the fish. Re Um-/Einpacken of animals provided with a tranquilizer water.
10.00 clock loading my car with another six to nine smaller boxes styrofoam boxes from me!
about 10.30 clock - barn gets the news that Lufthansa has received for that flight does not receive confirmation from the importer .... what does this mean for me?
Thomas Lepel informs me that the recipient of the supply of Lufthansa has not been confirmed ... was there a misunderstanding? I appeal to Axel to write e-mail to Allen - a call attempt fails there, because in San Francisco only 2.00 clock in the morning.
I make my way to Munich, the unknown un ...
But Thomas Lepel is made a super for me. The freight forwarder shipped at the risk of the barn to get the fish to America ...
11.55 clock arrival at the cargo center in the Franz-Josef-Strauss airport in Munich. Engegennahme of 6 boxes by the carrier.
I got rid of the fish ....

so the advance times by me ... :becky:

LOL, looks like you took the German and put it into a translator.

Kudos on getting this done (almost done). It looked monumental with the language barriers, so many people involved in so many countries, the shipping, customs, brokers, the holding in Germany, holding in California, shipping again and not to mention that little volcano.

You are two dedicated dudes.
I'm kinda afraid to ask if you would do it again.
Good luck on getting them from California!!!
