Is it filmed in the actual lake? Sounds very interesting, but I wonder what Ad
Konings talk is
going to be about since he's very into rift lake cichlids.

Hey gang, here’s the conversation I’ve had with Jennifer at the Vancouver
Aquarium.
Thoughts?

Hi again Phil,
Let me know what the gang thinks. To be honest, I would rather do my Tanganyika
presentation just because it's already all prepped, I've had a few chances to
practice it
so far, and I'm eager to share what I experienced with other keeners- I know if
I weren't
already me, I'd love to see this talk- it even has underwater video. My
favourite is of
cooperative hunting behaviour between mastacembelid eels and predatory
cichlids!
The other factor of course is time to make a new presentation- kind of lacking
on that
front right now, and with the holidays coming up, it's sure to get worse. Now,
I could
easily do a really short blurb about the Aquarium either before or after that-
I think I
can do a good job of talking the place up and I could bring down some
pamphlets, possibly
even raffle off some more admission passes/etc if I can get my paws on some...
Cheers,
Jen

Hey there! I'll be more than happy to pass this along to Those Who Decide on
our board,
and personally I would love to hear more about cichlids - we had Lawrence Kent
do an
utterly amazing talk on his West African adventures int he spring, and I even
won some of
the fish he hand-carried back on the plane. Yeah, I know!!! :-)
However, I have a feeling we might be a tiny bit cichlid-ed out, as the
question arose at
our board meet on Tuesday that someone might want to come down and discuss the
Vanc
Aquarium and what you do there/why it's an awesome aquarium to visit. I
thought it was
particularly cool that we got to visit an aquarium in a country that borders a
vast
portion of the Arctic, not a perspective we often get down here :-) Maybe
combine the two
somehow?
Like I said, this evening I'll pass this along and we'll see what we can do!
THanks so much! - Phil

Hi Phil,
Dave passed on a message to me that you are looking for speakers for
January.
I've done a talk on my cichlid work in Lake Tanganyika last year a few
times
now that has been pretty well received. It's especially good for cichlid
geeks, but I also include some stuff for travellers, catfish and eel
folks,
and scuba divers- lots of underwater photography in it, too. Attached is
a
little blurb/poster type thing with a couple of images and a write up
about my
work. Let me know if you're interested- would be a good opportunity for
me to
come down to Seattle. I also know there are lots of folks in the Seattle
club
who are way more into Africans than there are here- so it would be
awesome to
talk to them about it. I saw Ad Koning's talk on Lake Malawi down in
Seattle
about 5-6 years ago or so.
The only potential issue is I may be going to Brazil in late January for
some
work with the World Fisheries Trust and a new aquarium in Belo Horizonte.
That hasn't yet been confirmed, however- and the dates were definitely
leaning
more toward the end of the month. I *think* it is a safe bet that I can
do
Jan 12, but just wanted to let you know that there could be complications.
Let me know what you think!
Cheers, and thanks again for your terrific auctioneering.
