I would like to learn more about setting up biotope aquariums, and what types of decor/plants/etc. would be appropriate for several different biotopes. It would be great to see photos/videos of each biotope aquarium, along with visual representations of how those biotopes appear in nature.

I would like to learn more about the various collection points of lake Malawi. The kind of fish that lives, kind of rocks, formations and lake bed substrates.

All of the above.

I think it would be neat if we had something like a CCA ted talk.

Maybe invite out of state folks to speak via video conference or something like that.

I'd like to hear a talk on maintaining good genetics. So for instance if you are breeding Lake Tanganyikan fish, is there a best practices for introducing new wild stock to your breeding every certain number of generations to keep from defects from inbreeding. Also, with fish like Electric Blue Acara that are line bred and probably have a pretty constrained gene pool, how should you select breeders from successive generations, etc. And I guess anything else about selective breeding for certain traits, etc.
