May 14th: Greg Sage: Livebearers

Greg Sage is owner and operator of Select Aquatics, in Erie Colorado, currently keeping 130 fish tanks spawning and selling rare and endangered livebearers. He has aggressively worked to breed and maintain high quality strains of fish. His fish room setup allows for the spawning of larger numbers, working with strains and species that are hard to find, or desired but rarely found in good condition. Greg has been producing fish for hobbyists and universities for over 13 years. Since 1999, he has been maintaining a colorful, husky livebearer X. nezhualcoyotl, and actively works on making sure wild lines stay pure. His website is full of wonderful information on many species and fish care in general.

We are really are fortunate to have Greg speaking to GSAS on Livebearers on our next monthly meeting, Tuesday May 14th, 730 pm, at our usual location at SPU. (After Greg's talk, stick around for our our monthly auction.)

There is also special members-only potluck at 5pm on Sat May 11th, followed by a talk on Selective Breeding at 630 pm. This special gathering is NOT at SPU, it's at a secret undisclosed location! (we have to do some member perks after all, if you haven’t joined yet, do it now! It is the best $15 ever spent!)

Nearby: American Killifish Assocation Convention May 24-27

The American Killifish Association is holding its Annual Convention in Portland this year, featuring five international speakers, an all-killifsh live show, auction, fish sale, banquet and other social events.

A big fish convention is truly a thing of wonder, and with Portland only a couple hours away, this is a great opportunity to do so for very little money. For more information, visit their website.

New GSAS video mini-series: This Aged Aquarium

In anticipation of next month's Home Show presentation, we are proud to present our first ever online mini-series, This Aged Aquarium. Last year, Diane and Rich Elliott, two very important members from GSAS's past, asked the club for help restoring their 180-gallon aquarium which had fallen on hard times. Follow Cory, Mary and Erik as they talk (and walk) through the process. We'll be releasing mini episodes all month long. Come to next month's Home Show meeting and see how it turned out!
