I did recently meet another breeder and he has indicated (see below) he would be willing to speak. Mike is a long time breeder and recently relocated his operation from Chicago to Chehalis.

Wing seems very nice; I hope he enjoys the fish I delivered. In regards to the meetings, I have a fear of speaking in public...but sure, you only live once! I can give a presentation on building central filtration systems for fish rooms and maybe do some Q & A on Angelfish production (my specialty in Chicago). I have a great deal of experience in retail and wholesale operations but seminars involving these topics are better suited to people in the pet industry and wouldn't be relevant to most hobbyists. I am glad you liked the fish at Super Pets. I just delivered there a few days ago. I am sorry I could not sell the fish directly to you but I gave my word to the pet stores that I would not compete with them. There is an exception for adults and pairs as most of my stores don't carry them. This weekend is bad for me as I have many projects around the farm that require my attention. I am trying to re-wire my well-house and add outdoor lighting before winter gets here. I will try to make the next meeting and we can discuss what you would like me to do for the presentation at that time. Good luck with the new fish.

The Blue turq cross pair just spawned today :) I purchased 10 of your fish from super Pets today, very nice. I forwarded the info on the portland show in case you are interested, unfrotunately I will be working on my rental and wont be going. I was wondering if you would be interested in talking at one of our club meetings. We are looking for speakers to present topics, generally they are 60-90 minutes. Let me know if you might be interested, I imagine you have plenty of information and experiences on various aquarium related topics.
