**FREE Presentation -- Corydoras: Ian Fuller** - Presented by GSAS

We are absolutely thrilled to have Ian Fuller kick off the 2013-2014 season for the Greater Seattle Aquarium Society (GSAS). Ian comes to us from the UK, where he has been keeping Corydoras catfish for almost 40 years. To date, he has spawned over 130 species (including some only he had bred), written many articles, published four of the most recognized books on the species, and runs the successful website Corydoras World. He is also the current president of the Catfish Study Group. Ian will, of course, be speaking to GSAS on Corydoras catfish (specifically on how to breed them)!

The presentation will be Tuesday, September 10th, 2013 at 7:30PM. We have booked a larger hall on the Seattle Pacific University (SPU) campus for this meeting; Demaray Hall (building behind clock tower) Room 150. Take a look at the handy map on GSAS.org for the meeting location.

Doors will open about 6:30 PM for a 'social hour'; the meeting will start at about 7:30 PM

The lecture will be followed by a short auction

Open to the public, no entrance fee

Family friendly but no childcare provided
Free parking, accessible building
No furry or feathered pets
Go to GSAS.ORG http://www.gsas.org/ for more information and directions

Regardless: "LIKE"

I have always wanted to start a little project and try and breed some of the more expensive more rare Corys. I may have to make this one.

Seen this set up in person. Bad ass. Wish I could go and raffle for it. Ill see. Thanks Roy for the plants and advices. Very nice tank set ups he has also. Post pics of the rainbow tank, can't wait for that. Roy is also a nice, generous, and very knowledgeable guy.

Seattle_Aquarist 2013-09-08, 00:30

Hi Wes,

It was great meeting with you and I am glad you like your plants. Put up some pictures once you get them planted and established!

-Roy

Seattle_Aquarist 2013-09-08, 00:39

Hi All,

One of the benefits of being a GSAS member is occasionally our guest speakers do a second talk for us on a different subject. We had a GSAS 'Members Only' meeting this afternoon where Ian Fuller did a different talk, one on identifying the various Corydoras species, he is a very good speaker and really knows his stuff! Tuesday night.....breeding corydoras!

Guest 2013-09-08, 00:48

Yes sir. Will do. Very Happy

**Aquarium Co-Op** 2013-09-09, 15:42

Here is a little tease. This was the members only meeting for Ian Fuller's talk.

Lamental Jester 2013-09-10, 12:38

Woot! Who's psyched? THIS GUY!

Jessielynn1024 2013-09-10, 12:39

Me tooo!!!!!

Lamental Jester 2013-09-10, 13:30

Just a note... if one of you cichlid peeps wins that tank, I've been considering getting into cichlids, and that tank would be a perfect starter... sooooooo, if you win it, and want to see a fishboxer startup in cichlids, maybe a kind donation can reward you with the satifaction of expanding the cichlid community, lol Wink

hobbyorobsession 2013-09-10, 18:35

Just a heads up I will be bringing a box of free plants mainly persicaria kowogoeamun. And red root floaters. Please look for a white Styrofoam cooler and take some plants home with you. Regards Daniel

Guest 2013-09-11, 00:36

hobbyorobsession 2013-09-11, 18:55

yeah I was disappointed my metal frame tank only went for $15 you sir got a good deal

Lamental Jester 2013-09-11, 19:03

Mine came with the light too! BOOM!!!

Seattle_Aquarist 2013-09-11, 23:31

Hi Lamental Jester,

You did get some good deals, but that is not uncommon at our auctions. Sometimes common stuff sells for crazy high dollars and sometimes expensive stuff sells for low dollars.......that is how auctions work. It just means I have to have an idea what stuff is worth when I am bidding!
