Touring the Evolutionary Ecology of Fishes Lab at Sacramento State!

On Saturday August 1st at 6pm, we are excited to offer a VIRTUAL TOUR of Dr. Ron Coleman's Evolutionary Ecology of Fishes Lab at CSU Sacramento, followed by a live Q&A. Everyone is welcome.
Ron Coleman is both a hobbyist and a scientist who works on fishes. He has kept fishes for over 4 decades. He is now a Professor of Biological Sciences at California State University, Sacramento. There he runs the Evolutionary Ecology of Fishes Lab which contains about 170 fish tanks, including about 60 species of cichlids. He and his students focus on fish parental care and reproductive biology.
Please join us on RUclips ( • Touring the Evolutiona... ). Gather your family together around your computer, or better yet, if you have an Amazon Fire TV Cube, you can use its RUclips app to watch on your television. Grab your dinner, your drinks and snacks; get comfy on your couch and enjoy another really cool fishroom tour, then stick around afterward and participate in the live-Q&A that follows. :-) Everyone is welcome to join us online. For more information, please visit SacramentoAquariumSociety.info/.
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! In July, the Sacramento Aquarium Society is having ANOTHER MEMBERSHIP RAFFLE! At the end of the month, TWO WINNERS will be drawn from all new and renewing
memberships paid by the end of July. Winners GET TO CHOOSE their gift certificate from any of several SAS sponsors (value of gift certificates vary by sponsor).
A message from the Sacramento Aquarium Society: For the health and safety of our members and guests, the Sacramento Aquarium Society will not hold in-person general meetings until it is deemed safe to again gather in groups of 100 or more people. In the meantime, we are offer monthly ONLINE General Meetings, each streamed live on our RUclips channel ( / sacaquariumsociety ) and hosted by our own RUclipsr, Michael Pohl of #BayAreaAquatics. These online meetings will be held at the same time as our regular General Meetings, 6pm on the first saturday of each month.

hey...I remember those discus!!!

[@StanTheObserver-lo8rx]

Surprised there were no Zebra Danio.. a lot of hot research into their DNA these days. I would like to have asked about the various "glo fish". Seems like recombinant DNA would be another hot edgy research projects for students.
Not much light on those tanks..hence the god awful plastic plants-lol. Maybe some more light,Java Moss or water sprite...might get more spawns.
Discus? Oh man..it could be even the water ph is too high for eggs. Or too hard. What the fish take is one thing,and what it takes for the delicate young to live is another.
