The Respledent Angel Experience - Peter Schmeidel

[Gouldian]

Dear reefers,

The Marine Aquarist Society (Singapore) will be inviting Mr. Peter Schmeidel, a accomplished German reefer/breeder to share with us his experiences on the Resplendent Angel. The Resplendent angel is only known from Ascension Island, mid Atlantic Ocean and the World Conservation Union (IUCN) has placed the Resplendent Angel on its Red List of Threatened Animals (1996). It is the only marine angelfish species on this list. While this species is common in Ascension’s coastal waters its population size is considered vulnerable because it is restricted to a tiny island locality.

Venue: The Serangoon CC

Date: August 2

Time: 5pm to 6pm

Topic: The Resplendent Angel Experience - Natural Habitat to Breeding Tank

Estimated Attendance: 25-30 (RSVP - contact@marineaquarist.org.sg)

Remarks: Attendees will receive goody bags from our sponsors and there will also be a lucky draw at the end of the talk.

I hope that the reefers here will find the talk meaningful and look forward to your RSVP as the seats are limited.

Regards,

[kueytoc]

It's a niched topic but i am sure that most SG reefers will find good info from the guest speaker apart from the subject matter when it becomes more casual after the talk!

Do support!

In view of the current situation, breeding is surely one of the best way toward our effort to keep this hobby going .

Nothing beat having the expert to give us the info on this and the satisfation of seeing your fish breed under your own tank and rising it up like your child !

Dont miss out this chance !

[Gouldian]

Thank you AT and HM gracious support.

Just to clarify, the event is free admission but we have limited seats thus we are requesting for RSVP. Also knowing the expected attendance will help in getting sufficient sponsors to make the event worthwhile for all.

Thanks for all that have RSVP, really appreciate your kind supports.

Wow! Drooling liao.

Just realized that even getting to Ascension island may be a hassle, imagine have to travel such distance in Military vessels.

It's really an enriching talk and such a rare opportunity to have Peter talk about his one-off expedition to Ascension Island just to learn about this endangered angel. It's a pity we didn't have much local reefers attending this talk, even with so good sponsorship gifts
