It was a great talk and I enjoyed the science stuff. A huge thanks to the PCS committee for all the arrangements, behind the scenes operations and thankless jobs that go into organising an event like this.

Ticket Status.. Purchased

Can I be cheeky and ask for a photo of the artworks prior to auction?

I'll be coming along to this for the dive, but will bring my own catering

I'm out but if you guys ever want to dive the grain terminal again, I'll be keen as mustard

Currently trying to swing it to have the day off (no need to cater for me I will bring my own stuff if I can make it) If i do there's no way I won't be diving

On the original post it says short dive. Do we hire 1 or 2 tanks?

Someone's got good taste in fish. Those freddies, beautiful.

It's pretty boring here, time to resurrect the reptiles thread

The 2nd one is certainly different The first one is too, but that's a couple of cool species

I'll leave it for others to guess so I don't ruin the game

I'm a sucker for Biotope aquariums but how about some sort of Rift Lake Aquascaping discussion from 3 people that have actually been to one of the lakes? Like an open forum discussion chat, photos, questions from the audience.

Between the fish, motorbikes, reptiles and everything else I wouldn't be able to afford drugs

That reminds me I will need that "Rainbowfish Lover Parking Only" sign at some point down the track

No Chris, you don't have a problem, it's everyone else with the problem.

All my classmates and friends in highschool thought I was a weirdo for being obsessed with aquarium fish at the time. I'm no longer friends with any of them. I don't need that negativity in my life

What was the range of cichlids like in the 1970s? I presume American (Neotropica/ New World) cichlids were a lot more common at the time of publication so the beefheart and such would have been a more applicable diet for them? 

Just out of interest can they be used in other tropical (tetras, barbs, catfish, etc, etc) tanks?

Mine get most of their grazing requirements off the plants and want more variety It's pretty bad when angelfish are having a go at plants as they go in

They do a tropical community grazer too.

So us outsiders are the only ones that think it looks fun?

I once saw an excavator drive it's bucket through a brick wall of a house to demo it. It's one of the coolest things I have seen so far in my life. It certainly made the bus trip at the time a lot more exciting.

I've volunteered to write a short post about various deformities in cichlids and I'm seeking a few pictures for the article/ post if you have any pictures you think will be handy for my post, PM me. All pictures can be kept anonymous if you like or credit given.

Cheers

Bag it up the night/ evening before.

You guys are all missing the point.
