Speaker(s): Charles Delbeek

Purchasing marine fish is often the direct result of an impulse purchase rather than a well-thought out plan. When faced with row upon row of aquaria filled with fish of all shapes and colors, our sanity tends to leave us. This presentation will outline a more structured approach to fish selection and collection planning that focuses more on needs and desires than the flavor of the month, while taking into account compatibility, suitability and sustainability.
