 Bio: Gary has been keeping fish since he was 10 and has been associated with the organized hobby for the last 28 years. He is a member of the Missouri Aquarium Society (MASI) and has held various positions in the club. He is a grand master breeder in MASI, and has won "Best Fish In Show" on four different occasions, twice with rainbowfish. In the fall of 1987 he started the Rainbowfish Study Group of North America (RSG). He got in fish photography mainly because there weren't many quality pictures of rainbowfish. He has had his photos published in FAMA, TFH and AFM and has published several articles for the Aquarium Fish Magazine and TFH. In 2002 he imported eight new rainbowfish into North America from the world explorer, Heiko Bleher, including the Millennium rainbow, the Zigzag and the dwarf parva rainbowfish. In 2003 he made his second trip to Australia and did some more collecting while there. In 2005 he took the rainbowfish collectors dream trip – collecting in Papua, the western portion of New Guinea. He made another trip back in 2008 and brought back rainbowfish that have never been in the hobby before including Chilatherina alleni. He is currently running over 90 tanks and keeping about 30 varieties of rainbows and blue-eyes. Details: Speaker tickets will be $25. There will be two talks. This will include a buffet dinner.
