Lesson learnt

During this period of unknown certainly where businesses are slowing down and some come to a grinding halt. It is unfortunate some of the Companies globally fall short of their required revenue to keep them afloat. An increase in bankruptcy in most countries, also an increase in unemployment wade through this dire time.

It is unfortunate that i took the short end of the straw for one of the transaction with an Australian guy. With his refusal to pay for his package and shipping fee he too blocked me on messenger to cut off communication. I like to use this post as a warning to all that there are those few black sheep in the shrimp community that made it a better place. Many breeders refusal to share information openly unless you are a customer is the very reason why. However, i took on another approach with sharing information freely on the blog with all the information learnt first hand from Taiwan.

I have many avid followers in this blog and appreciative words to keep sharing. The reason i have slow down my writing is because i couldn’t get over the betrayal of trust – I have reached out to multiple people in the local community in Australia for help but i personally know it’s only hopeful; least i tried. I appreciate those who have tried knock some sense on him and have also agreed to boycott that person in future till the issue is resolved. However, i too know this is only temporary but this will not deter me to continue writing nor have an impact on my shrimp hobby.

The purpose of my blog in the very beginning and even till today is all about sharing and debunking myth from breeders who are out there trying to earn a fast one. From the feedback that i get locally and overseas; i know i have helped countless number of shrimp hobbyist from overpaying or even spending more than they actually need. It is a hard world out there and it is becoming difficult to ignore the fact that many are trying their best to sell their wares esp. during this dire times. While the white sheep outnumbered the black sheep in the community, i’ll continue to reach out to those who are keen to learn about the hobby.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from the masters directly in Taiwan with multiple trips to Taiwan in 2018/19 i took all the learning and translated it into what is written in the blog post. The investment to gather that knowledge, (remember that breeders only teach you when you are a customer) I wanted everyone to have that same level of knowledge not because they’re disadvantaged by language or otherwise. I still have information that i wish to share and i’ will continue to write when all this is said and done.

With that, i wish you and your families great health!
