**FREE Presentation - Raising Tropical Fish Fry - GSAS**

**FREE Presentation - Raising Fry from Egg to Adolescence** - Presented by GSAS

The Greater Seattle Aquarium Society (GSAS) is pleased to sponsor a free presentation about Raising Fry from Egg to Adolescence by renowned tropical fish explorer and breeder Ted Judy. Ted advises: "Getting the fish to spawn is only the tip of the iceberg for a fish breeder. This talk presents problems associated with raising fry and provides strategies to overcome them. The information is applicable to any type of freshwater fish, and covers feeding, housing, maintenance and other challenging fry-raising situations." If you have always wanted to know more about breeding fish and successfully raising fry to you will not want to miss this talk!

Ted Judy, a former high school science teacher and now full-time stay-at-home dad with a fish room, is an addicted aquarist with over 25 years of fish keeping and breeding experience. He is a generalist who enjoys all types of fish from anabantids to tetras, but always finds plenty of room in his fish room for fish from West Africa (especially the dwarf cichlids). He is a prolific speaker, proficient writer and wants to be a better photographer.

Hi All,

The Ted Judy talk is only one week from this coming Tuesday; you do not want to miss learning the 'tricks' to successfully raising fry to maturity. Having raised several species I know how much fun and rewarding it can be - I hope to see you there!

All you folks that came to the SWAP....I know you didn't get enough fish-geeking in! Come on up to the GSAS meeting and carry on with more fish-geeking!

Hi All,

I certainly hope you had the opportunity to hear Ted Judy's excellent presentation last night; over 100 of your fellow hobbyists were there....where were you? If you raise fry and you missed this talk, then you missed out on some of the best suggestions I have heard in years on how to successfully raise healthier spawns more quickly and raise a larger percentage of the spawn.

Next month........the big annual GSAS General Auction! Fish, Plants, Tanks, Equipment, chemicals, all sorts of steals and deals.......Saturday, April 13th. Announcements will be forthcoming!
