Essential Live Foods talk with Dr Adelaide Rhodes.
We had a few obastacles Saturday. The room was locked. But the positive side of that was people lined up outside and talked about Reef Keeping.
When you have a well traveled Scientist that has experienced MACNA, IMAC, MARS, you want to learn their experiences.
Adelaide prompted me for current events taking place.
The lecture talking about how pods reproduce, the different type of pods.
A question if Flat worms eat pods. They compete for same food. But no data about them actually eating pods. The strange looking predator pods.
The pods that eat corals (red bugs). The predators of pods. How to treat a fish infected with predator pod. How pod enters body of fish. I never thought that bristle worms ate pods, they do. I never knew that crabs such as emerald crabs eat pods. Emerald crabs do eat pods. Rotifers produce waste differently than pods.
We learned the fact that Mandarin gobies are actually dragonets. The requirements of keeping a mandarin. The difference between a gobie and dragonette. I have to admit. This meeting was very personal with most of the people hanging around util close to nine pm to ask questions one on one. I believe the atmosphere was very relaxed.
Here are a few pictures of hatchery, Zooplankton Reactor.
I went to get drinks and missed a few minutes of this or I would give more detail. Thanks Todd for covering for me.
All and All there were ideas of ways to make club a more enjoyable place for all shared. I reminded people of elections coming up and we need volunteers to make this place new and exciting all the time.
I want to say Thanks again to our Local Scientist Dr Adelaide Rhodes for sharing. I hope to see you next month.
