It is my honor and my pleasure to introduce this year’s FMAS 1955 MACNA 2013 Keynote Speaker as the one and only Bishop Museum ichthyologist Dr. Richard Pyle. As a self proclaimed fish nerd Richard has be keeping, observing, collecting, identifying, and discovering reef fish since he was 13 years old. Now he will share his experiences with use at the banquet, you don’t want to miss this one!

Here we go, enjoy

Here is a photo from one of my dive trips to Tubbataha.

What do you feed your tank, including fish?

I would once again give a big THANK YOU! to the club for inviting me and for allowing me to share my passion with the members of this great club. Special thanks to Craig Kuhn for making me feel very comfortable throughout the weekend, to Doug Arthur and John Cappolino for making the arrangements for my visit, to Chip Frederick for the Brick Oven Pizza, to Justin Casp for his tour, to Bob & Tamie DeWitt for their hospitality, and to Tom (sorry I do not have your last name) for the stimulating conversations, and for finding a good home to one of the most awesome corals in the hobby. It was great to see Chip a member I had shared my passion with at his club just about 16 years ago. It reminds me of how long I have been doing this. Thanks, everyone for making this so enjoyable.
