A friend to be miss

Post by Yann »

Hi!

For those of you who are a bit into Cichlids and especially from Central America and Madagascar probably have already heard of Jean-Claude Nourissat. He discovered and re-discovered many species from these 2 regions and brought them into the hobby.
Sadly he passed away during the night of Sunday to Monday after several days of Coma due to Malaria.
All the Cichlid people of the world have lost a friend.
His knowledge, friendship... will be miss...but his memory will live through...
My thoughts goes to his family and close friends...
:cry:
