January Meeting - 1/17 @ 8:00pm
Spawning "Oddball" Fish
Eric Bodrock
I reveal the “secrets” of what I did to spawn some of the hobby’s coolest fish, such as, Hillstream Loaches: S. marmorata & S. lineolata, Notropis chrosomus “Rainbow Shiners”, a Killifish; Moema quiii, Lamprichthys tanganicanus, Oryzias eversi, Rhadinoloricaria bahuaja and a few other lip/mouthbrooding catfish.
