Program Description:

Join me this February as I dive into over 20 years of experience keeping and breeding livebearers! I’ll be sharing the real story—the wins, the failures, and everything I’ve learned along the way. From successful breeding techniques and population control, to the mistakes that taught me the biggest lessons, nothing’s off the table. I’ll also give you a behind-the-scenes look at what livebearers I keep today, why I keep them, and what you really need to know before jumping into livebearers yourself. Plus, we’ll touch on my adventures with outdoor summer tubbing, including what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently. If you’re curious about livebearers—or already keeping them—this talk will save you time, frustration, and maybe a few fish. Come learn from my successes, my failures, and my passion for livebearers this Sunday. You won’t want to miss it.
