This promises to be a great night fir Discus keepers & all aquarists alike.

I've heard he was coming to Australia for the Indo-Pacific Fish Conference and a few other associations. Just a shame he's not visiting the East coast.

Wish he was coming to the East Coast for sure.

Hi All

On another forum, Heiko Bleher visited my thread on m wild bio type tank. He told me he will be in Sydney on September 11th-13th talking about fishes...(and biotopes, discoveries, etc.)

I asked him about tickets etc & will put the info here if I find out about them.

[Hollowman]

I think I'll give it a miss :roll:

We have Jorge Stendker and Andrew Soh coming to our show in England in november to give lectures. Now that is something to look forward to. :wink:

Well, since I'm not in England, I guess I will just have to make do with reading my Andrew Soh signed book once more (sigh)

In the meantime, since wild discus are my favourites, I think I'll enjoy Heiko's talk, as one of the things he's discussing is creating bio types.

I'm looking forward to it :)

[Matt15]

Robyn that would be great. I'd certainly make the trip from Brisbane to see him.

I'll be at Heiko's Sydney lecture for sure... !

I think he is speaking at the ANGFA convention in September.

[Pheonix]

Hi TW,

Heiko will be speaking at the ANGFA convention Sat 12th Sept and Sun 13th Sept at the Courtyard by Marriott, Parramatta, 18-40 Anderson Street.

Cost: $145 members, $195 non-members
includes morning teas lunches an afternoon tea
book and pay on the angfa.org.au website

this is ANGFA's big convention, not sure when Heiko will speak, other speakers include Dr Jerry Allen, Tom Barr and many more.

[rwel4809]

pricey!

[TW]

Oh, that is pricey. Especially when compared to the perth meeting. I'm depressed now, as I won't be able to afford to go after all.

[Pheonix]

yeah but this is a 2 day convention with many different speakers and includes food and drink. I thought maybe the NSWCS might have tried to get him for a talk. Is there a Discus Society in NSW, AUS ?

[ILLUSN]

nsw discus association went belly up last year i believe the core memebers now just meet with the ciclid meeting.

[rwel4809]

Are there enough NSW members here to start a new association? Just a thought...

[bartek]

THought I might bring this thread back.

Any news on Heiko speaking outside the ANGFA convention?

Is it possible to organise entry to his talk only?

[Heiko Bleher]

Hi guys,

this is Heiko Bleher and I just saw this thread.

I had to cancel in 2009 in the last minute so to speak the ANGFA Convenyion talks I had prepared, because I received an invitation for from the Iranian Fisheries to do research on freshwater in Iran and I had never bee, which naturally was an offer I was unable to refuse, a few photos of it:

and they had than already invited me again for a 2-day-seminars - a marathon, have alook:

But I will definitely come in October 2011 to the next ANGFA Convention in Brisbane with 3 lectures, and have canceled the other offers (even from China again) at that time.

The Perth Cichlid Association had me last year and want me again, and they wanted me to come after Brisbane to Perth, but I will be on a field trip after Brisbane in new Guinea and offered them to come after AQUARAM 2011 in Singapore, as it is a shorter flight (and cost the same as from Brsibane). Also the Wester Australian ANGFA group wanted me to come, but none has given me any confirmation as of today...

I just hope they come soon, as I am almost fully booked throughout 2012..

You all have a fantastic New Years entry, with health and happiness and great fishes, kept the natural way...

always
