I'm Not Attending the ACA Convention in DC Because...

[flowerpower]

Damn, I'd really like to hear the speakers on CA cichlids. I hope someone records a video.

Most likely all of them. I still have a lot to learn about fish (especially on fishes I don't own) so I don't want to limit myself. Plus some of these guys are real characters and I bet they all are going to have some great stories!

Unfortunately, I don't think that most speakers allow their presentations to be recorded...

I'd think having a catalogue of past presentations available to ACA members would be a great draw for joining the club, especially for people who can't travel to the conventions...

Hands down favorite is Juan Miquel for pure info and photos. Wayne Leibel for great common sense relevant fish info. Mo Devlin for his photos. LOL

Well, given my handle ... Vin Kutty would most likely be number one. Wayne Leibel is a hoot though, and is an absolute sink for SA cichlid info. Hard to pass by Rusty though ....

Only one I'd miss would be the photo one, that Mo guy looks intimidating.

any of th sa/ca speakers would be great to listen too

 

[dogofwar]

Any particular topics for the speakers?

Question: Is the ACA Convention open not only to vendors but to the public I recently went on the site to see how to get the tickets I only noticed something about registration not to sure how this works will be my first time attending will someone please guide me in the right direction I would really like to attend this convention?

 

[Aquamojo]

Absolutely. The public has access to the vendors and the fish show. If you haven't been to a show...go. THose two things alone is worth the trip. The show features some of the very best examples of the cichlid fish. You won't be disappointed.

Couple videos from a few shows.
