I had to leave early as well, but it was a great talk. Thank you Sam. It was especially cool that you used your own 'wild' video footage. It's one thing to get tank footage but on location... good stuff man. :happy0180:

I enjoyed Sam's presentation tremendously. Great videos--they really help to cement some of the knowledge in place, plus they're fun to watch!

I concur with everyone's comments on this thread, to be able to get a speaker of this caliber to come to our club meeting I think benefits everyone as a whole! He had great insight and personal experiences that I'll never find by reading any books!

I like all of the meetings, but for me, as a CA/SA kinda guy, I have to say that yesterday's meeting was one of the best I've been to. I learned some amazing things about the kind of fish I keep, and stole a nice group of geos in the auction to boot! And got some very nice pickups in the group buy, to complete the reshaping of my 210 gallon tank. All in all, Saturday was a lot of fun!

And almost forgot to mention the awesome sajica pair I picked up from Batfish Aquatics. Thanks, Josh! They colored right up almost as soon as they hit the water! Wow!

For a first timer at the meeting i thoroughly enjoyed the speaker and information given. I can look up all the information i want, but i easily get distracted by other websites/ things going on at the house. So to be able to focus on one subject really helped with learning/retaining.

Was a great talk by Sam! So much so that I think I am going to set up a 29 gallon or so to give a pair of something a try. I just need to clear out some room first.

I greatly enjoyed Sam's talk. I went to Costa Rica for 2 weeks in 2010, but never had a chance to study the fish, so it was very neat to hear about native cichlids.

I was very impressed with how many fish were in the auction that were talked about during Sam's presentation. They weren't necessarily from Costa Rica, but they could be found there. I came home with some Neets, I saw chocolate cichlids, centrarchus, and probably a few others. Siquia pop up frequently too, so the diversity our club offers amazes me when I see those fish in presentations by our speakers.

Sam knew his stuff - very good presentation. We should have him back sometime.
