Topic: Cyprinids
Bob Bock operates the YouTube channel “Sonny’s Fish Room,” which focuses on tips for hobbyists informed by experience and scientific literature searches. He has been collecting and keeping fish since he was 7 years old, when he brought home two mummichog from the Hackensack River Meadowlands of Northern New Jersey. Bob likes writing and speaking about aquarium fish and belongs to all the Washington, D.C. area's freshwater aquarium clubs. He is past president of the North American Native Fishes Association and wrote the "Meet the Hobbyist" column of Tropical Fish Hobbyist. He has also contributed articles to Freshwater and Marine Aquarium Magazine and Aquarium Fish Magazine. He is most interested in the fishes formerly classified as cyprinids, but he has also bred sunfish, cichlids, Corydoras and Brochis, livebearers, loaches, killifish, and rice fish. He led all the U.S. native fish collecting trips for the Potomac Valley Aquarium Society's All Aquarium Catfish Convention during its 20-year history. When he isn’t busy making videos for Sonny’s Fish Room, Bob likes angling, collecting fish, watching birds, and visiting U.S. Civil War battlefields and museums.
