Gary Lange speaks on “Falling in Love With Blue-Eyes - Pseudomugils”

No I’m not talking about my three blue-eyed cats but rather the Genus Pseudomugil, also known as “Blue-eyes” because of their very distinctive blue eyes. We’ll look at most of the Pseudomugil that are currently in the hobby and how they are alike and how they differ from each other. Some we have collected in essentially rain water conductivity whereas others have been collected in pure salt water. Some are ridiculously easy to keep and breed and others can really be a challenge. We’ll also look at a few that I’ve actually collected myself as well as one that I’m pretty sure is a new species.

Ryan Chan will speak on his experience with the breeding of Amano shrimp. Amano shrimp are not easy to breed, their life cycle requires both a salt and fresh water phase. There appear to be few (if any?) aquarists who are actually breeding them succesfully, so Ryan's experiences will be quite interesting.
