In July 2005, the Fish Sempai met with Goldfish Connection’s dynamic founder and proprietor, Rick Hess in Pennsylvania. Well known by most North American hobbyists, Rick’s great reputation has been built upon honest business practices, his “Fancy Goldfish” book, his Progold fish food, and his amiable personality. To meet him in person was a privilege and a great learning experience. With a wealth of experience under his belt, Rick was most supportive and generous in sharing his knowledge, inspiring younger fish hobbyist and businessman, the Fish Sempai.
