Greg's presentation will cover the types of selective breeding seen in the hobby. Following the examples of 6 species at Select Aquatics, brief photo histories document the creation of morphs and color patterns in species that had not been previously worked with, occasionally creating fish that had never been seen before. A brief explanation of the Punnett square and basic livebearer breeding practices used routinely in the fish room are discussed.
Special attention is paid to the number of tanks required to accomplish goals, and the need to maintain focus, prioritizing the traits you are breeding for, etc.
