Re: [GSAS-board] FW: Aquarium club talk

Hi Paul,
Home show is pretty cool. We really don't have any chance to see each others tanks and appreciate what everyone is doing. I think this would be a great meeting topic all alone. It is really fun to see the details about what everyone is doing. Designs. Fish rooms. Etc.... 

What do you think of making that the whole meeting topic in March.

After the presentation then open it up for everyone to talk??

Kathy

Dear Eric,

Phil is working with new friends in Canada to bring character for January.  The 
topic may need refinement.

The Homeshow is moving up with pictures early in 2010 and a short presentation 
to be worked in at the awards.

Finally, we love the FISHO game in December.  Would you please generate a set 
of cards?

Ad's talk will most definitely be about Rift Lake Cichlids. I think Wayne Leibel's talk will be on speciation and hybrids, but he is a cichlid guy.
What *are* the January and March topics? Kathy had said she heard from Paul that the cichlid guy who just moved here was talking in January... leaving March as the only open slot for the home show. What's going on?

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.

Hi again Phil,

Â
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! 

Â
The other factor of course is timeÂto make a new presentation- kind of lacking on that front right now, and with the holidays coming up, it's sureÂto 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 andÂI could bring down some pamphlets, possibly even raffle off some more admission passes/etc if I can get my paws on some... 

Â

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.

      Jen
