AquaRadio.net is proud to announce the kick-off of its 2010 season with both Ted Judy and Mike Hellweg, on the next installment of "Sounds Fishy to Me." They will be discussing their year-long "Breeder's Challenge," which is being covered by Tropical Fish Hobbyist magazine.
Mike Hellweg
Mike Hellweg is the only person to reach the rank of sixth level Grand Master Breeder in his local club, the Missouri Aquarium Society, Inc.. He has convinced more than 250 species from more than 25 families to breed, and successfully raised their fry, including such diverse challenging fishes as Kuhli Loaches, Chocolate and Licorice Gouramis, and many other Anabantoids, Dwarf Puffers, several species of tiny Cyprinids, wild Livebearers, Corys, West African Cichlids, Apistogrammas, Killies, North American Native fish, and Tetras, not to mention Pipid frogs. He cultures and uses many different types of live foods, attributes much of his success to their use, and champions their use in his writings and talks. His fishroom of nearly 100 or so tanks from 10 – 125 gallons is dedicated to working with “miniature fishes” with adult sizes under 4” in length. All of these are full of live plants as well, and Mike is his club’s only fifth level Grand Master Aquatic Horticulturist, having propagated more than 200 species of aquatic plants, many of them by seed.
He is active in the organized hobby – having served on the Executive Council of the Missouri Aquarium Society since 1989 and is in his 12th term as their president. He has also served on the BOD of the American Livebearer Association, including two terms as their Vice Chairman, and has served as the Historian of the Aquatic Gardeners Association for many years. He is the moderator for the American Killifish Association’s Foods and Feeding Forum.
Mike presents programs on various hobby topics to local schools as well as hobbyist organizations, shows, and conventions around the country. A prolific writer, he has written many articles for local and national hobbyist organizations and is a regular contributor to Tropical Fish Hobbyist and other magazines. He writes Adventures in Fishbreeding, a monthly column in Aquarium Fish International, and will soon be writing a monthly breeding column in TFH as well. His first book, Culturing Live Foods, was published by TFH in June of 2008. His second book, Raising Live Foods: Complete Herp Care, will be released by TFH in the fall of 2009, with more to follow. He currently owns and operates Exotic Aquatics, selling uncommon fish, live foods, his own line of flake and pellet foods, and aquatic plants both to local hobbyists and to hobbyists around the country.
Ted Judy
Ted Judy is a stay-at-home soccer-addicted Dad with a fish room. He is a frequent presenter at aquarium societies, shows and conventions, a prolific writer, adequate photographer and an ambitious breeder of fish. Ted also dedicates a lot of time to the advancement of the hobby through local and national clubs. He is very active in the Milwaukee Aquarium Society, the Madison Area Aquatic Hobbyists and the American Cichlid Association. Ted’s aquatic interests are broad, but there is always more room in his fish room for something cool from West Africa.
