Sponsoring

We support selected website such as PlanetCatfish or projects such as C.A.R.E.S and PlanetXingu. Sponsoring of events is limited to events that we attend. Unfortunately, that is the only way to be fair given the 3-4 donation requests that we receive every week. Thanks for understanding.

Happy Fishkeeping, Stephan
