" During his participation in the 4rh annual meeting of the "Comunidad Acuariofila Regiomontana" in the capital of the Mexican federal state of Nuevo León Rainer Stawikowski had the possibility to pay a visit to the ichthyologist, aquarist and conservationist Arcadio Valdés González and to prepare the interview that is printed here. Therein explains Dr. González how he recognized, that the use and abuse of habitats would extinguish many species and how he started hence to take action as an environmentalist. He states how difficult it is to work with the authorities and talks about the main threats for the fish, primarily the abuse of water with sinking ground water levels, pollution and the abandonment of non-native species, ornamental ones as well as edible fish. In conclusion he gives aquarists the advice to never give up the fight for endangered species "
