Ingo Seidel - Guest Speaker on "Sounds Fishy to Me"
Posted: 06 Aug 2009, 20:54
Greetings. Aquaradio.net and the Aqua Media Network is proud to air a presentation by Ingo Seidel, noted catfish speaker and author, on Saturday, August 8th and Sunday, August 9th, via our broadcasts on live365.com.
Ingo Seidel is currently working for Aqua-Global, a wholesale ornamental fish distributor near Berlin, Germany. He is the scientific assistant to the owner and president Gerolf Jander. We were fortunate to catch up with him while he was in the US for the ACA convention, this past weekend.
Ingo, who is 42 years old (but he looks much younger!) has been keeping tropical fish since early childhood. He started focusing on catfish in the 1980s. While he initially played with Corydoras and Aspidoras, he always had a keen interest in loricariids. This fascination was strengthened by the L-number boom that started in 1989. Ingo has written numerous articles in all of the German ornamental fish journals and co-authored the Mergus Catfish Atlas Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. His latest book "L-number Catfish," published by Back to Nature became a bestseller in several languages.
Ingo is heavily involved in the conservation of plecos from Brazil since many species cannot be exported anymore. With the help of many friends he initiated the formation of an L-number working group. The goal is to maintain and breed these fabulous creatures in the aquarium, so that future generation of hobbyists can enjoy them. Besides catfish, Ingo is interested in about anything that carries fins, so he has bred many fish species from numerous families over the years.
Some of the topics Ingo will discuss are pleco conservation, L046, Suriname, The L-Number days convention among others.
The show will air on Saturday at 9 AM. 12 PM, 3 PM, 7 PM and 10 PM. Sunday at 10 AM, 1 PM, 4 PM, and 9 PM. These are eastern U.S. times. The show runs 1:00 in length. On Monday, August 10th, it will be available as a podcast, at the link, directly below.

Thank you. The Staff of AquaRadio.net (That's me - Frank)
Future guests include: Mark Soberman (topic to be determined), Dan Garcia of Aquatic Foods who will be discussing the world of Black Worms, Mark Ozolins of Exotic Aquatics who will be discussing the state of the retail lfs industry and - at some point in the near future, I plan to interview myself on the topic of "Remedial Cory Breeding" - only because so many people have asked.
