Al Foster

This is my favorite picture of Al - with his goldfish!  Al raises all kinds of fish , and does so with flair - whether its Ranchus, Orandas, Ryukins, or my personal favorite of Al's fish - Veiltails.  Al Foster, together with Al Thomma, helped save Veiltails from dying out in the U.S. 

Al is remarkably knowledgeable on all aspects of fish-keeping.  He has been raising and breeding goldfish in the Minneapolis/St Paul area for over 40 years, and is past "Everything" in the GFSA.
