I am sure many of you would have heard of the name J Charles Delbeek, esp. the ones who keep a reef tank. This link http://reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=18226&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 will put you to another forum and will show you some pics. of the excellent reef tank that Charles set up. Pls. browse thru the 2 pages if you have time.

Food for thought:
1) I reckon the Western do have a very different attitude compared with us, they do treasure a lot more about the well being of their marine fish and their LIFE instead of just having fun ourselves. (eg. the life of the T. clams, double saddle butterfly and yellow tang)

2) They consider a lot more about ecosystem and equilibrium or 'artificial nature' if you like

I'd love to have something like this in our Ocean Park and educate our youth to learn to treasure our ocean more. I know we've killed a lot of fishes throughout the years, well at least I have if you don't want to admit that. But I do think that a lot of the mistakes being made by the new comers are totally avoidable if we ask more and seek more information before acting. Also, if we at least have the patience to have a properly cycled tank first, a lot of LIVES could have been saved.

Let's save the ocean and our WALLET, just look at the weather and you will know what we've done to the Earth, why no typhoon in HKG this year? Is it a good sign?

Sorry for preaching again and thx. a lot if you have spent your precious time and read thru. the whole thread.

Cheers,
Fred

Thank you for your information.

Yes, total agree.

if we ask more and seek more information before acting


No, new comers are smart nowadays. They would ask but wouldn't follow. These are culture and attitude problems.

我唸有一個時期會勁養死魚呀，其他生物呀是無可避免的，就好似蘭花的曆史咁，開頭都勁死，之後就會好轉，仲可以人工繁殖到。希望這一日會早些來臨。

Thx. for the replies.

What I wanted to point out is that our attitude seems to be a bit unhealthy. Fish and other marine lives in HKG seem to be just another commodity, nothing related to life at all, that's why ppl can keep buying them although they know they are not ready to keep them alive.

However, when you read the post in that Western forum, one will find that they are talking about how to maintain the fish to their normal life duration, clams last for 20 several years and keeping 1 fish (Regal tang) in 75 Gallon tank is too much becoz. it requires a lot of swimming space.....

I am not suggesting they are right, but maybe we can learn something fm them, FISH AND OTHER MARINE CREATURES ARE LIVING ORGANISM as well.

Fred,
         I'm totally agree with you. 事實上，西方人與香港人在文化背景上真的有很大分別。香港人事事講求六便快捷，故很多人都在未完全清楚整個生態過程下便匆匆飼養魚及珊瑚，至終告失敗。
        在別的一些層面上，香港人已接近西方的了。希望在我們努力下能在水族層面上追貼西方啦！！
