When and where is the next IRG convention and do I need to sign up or
can I simply attend?
BTW do you think the Goo-obo and the Peacock gudgeon can be kept in
the same tank, or will they fight?

Europeans just talking about it that they'll actually show up at the
IRG convention! Be there or be Goo obo less :-)

very different than the fish that he originally collected as he says
in his article. Even if you had nesolepsis they don't look anything
like these guys as these are much more colorful than the originals.
He used the brightest colored fish from every spawn as his next fish
for breeding. I normally don't like sports but there is so much color
in these that they really rival <almost> a peacock gudgeon in full
color.

a tough thing to do. They really need a lot of "fathering" and
fanning. One of the first transfers of M. mogurnda eggs happened from
the Dallas aquarium back in the Mid-eighties when David Schlesser,
then working at the aquarium scraped some eggs off of the glass and
gave them to Charles Harrison who then drove straight thru to St.
Louis. He only got a few of the already eyed up eggs to hatch. I
think you would have a real problem trying to have these eggs in
transit longer than about 2 days w/o having massive egg losses. Some
things you just have to ship as fish.

be that there are still some fish around, but I wouldn't know where to
