One great thing, for me, about having these talks recorded, is that I get to correct my misstatements. It's hard to think and talk at the same time... * Ramon Villaverde raised large angels (not Centropyge) in a 6 liter pretzel jar, not a 6 gallon pretzel jar. * I recommended using polypropylene mesh for making filters, and I should have said polyester. * I said salinity should be around 30 parts per million, should have been 30 parts per thousand. * Clearly it is impossible to speak and do math at the same time...I'm not sure if the copepod nauplii numbers I was spouting are correct, but I'm sure you get the jist of it. Once again I offer my thanks to MASNA for the invitation to speak, and I will once again encourage YOU to be the first kid on YOUR block to raise a marine ornamental that hasn't been raised before. Opportunity awaits you, and there has never been a better time.

Awesome presentation, Kathy - thanks so much! Having a hard time finding those micron mesh sheets for the filter cups you made on Amazon. Would you happen to have a link??

Exactly, this is the best talk so far because those are the practice I can start doing tomorrow. The talk from science labs are great, but those are more of fantasies to me that I can only appreciate from a distance.

That's the most important part. The fish do the rest. Getting it from egg to larvae to fry to juvenile to adult safely is the true challenge.

Kathy, this is a great presentation. Would you be willing to share your email address so that I could correspond with you directly? I did some marine fish propagation in my work as a public aquarist, but am now retired and want to try to get back into it. I have some questions that came up during your presentation. Thanks.
