Thank you very much Heiko!
For the moment it is not possible for me to leave Norway. My wife and her children are Russian. My wife has permission to stay in Norway but this permission is not yet give to the children. They are only 8 and 5 and need me all the time and if they need it will be forever. For the moment I struggle the fight of my life lifetime to secure the children’s and my family future in Norway.
Reading your book and to see my wild discus and to breeding discus is the best relaxation I have in this time. Some time I am very stressed and this see and feel the wild discus and swim away when I coming to the glass. When I site down and looking on them and begin to talk with them they are coming to the glass and show me there beautiful colours and pattern. Then I feel the harmony from this beautiful animals and I begin to relax and then a see the beautiful nature in them. In my mind I begin to have a fantasy to see them in the nature, then your book is giving me so good inspiration to correct the picture of there habitat and way they live in the nature. I hope it will be possible to learn my small children also to see this beautiful animals and the beautiful nature you show us in your book in this way some day.
Your book is more then a book about beautiful fishes and there habitats, it also describe a nature how blending the reader and I know I have to teach my children to love and give contribution to take care of this beautiful nature. This is also the vision your book also gives me. Then why I think it is not possible for others to write a book like this. It is written by human how loves and have lived with the nature and the animals in it for the most of his life. I feel that your soul is a part of this book and that’s why is so interesting to read, it is also a documentation of the life of the explorer and his offspring.
When I read your book I begin to ask my self more and more questions. I ask you and you give me answer, this is a great experience and inspiration for me. You are relay a great human and it is a big pleasure to have your answer. Thank you very much Heiko.
Best wishes from Norway
