Projects from the Convention speakers

[hastatus]

Hi fellow convention attenders

I don't know if anyone actually took note but there were a good number of potenial projects that were mentioned by the speakers at the convention last weekend, anyone rememeber any?

It might be worth getting a list together and seeing if there are any keen members interested in putting the Study into the Catfish Study Group (UK)

Lets hear from your thoughts, lets get a list going!

One of the speakers at the Convention (Dr Peter Burgess) asked 'How long do catfish live?' and said this would be a good one for the members to help with.

So what is your oldest catfish?
Species?
When did you buy it/breed it?
Any other information
Do you keep records, or is this information from memory?

I tend to find that Synodontis live out a good life. I have an eupterus at about 12 years old and a shoutedeni around about 10. They seem to be indestructable I used to keep notes on all the fish that I bought but haven't kept that up for a few years now.

Another of the projects that was suggested was listening to your catfish Jon mentioned that they are quite 'vocal' anyone interested in this as a project?

This could be an interesting study for a few members to get involved with get some archive material on the web site.

Anyone got a Hydrophone?

I've probably started a new CSG (UK) project, I sit here with a hydrophone next to me ready to go, I'll let you know more as I progess, it should make intersting rading in Cat Chat if anyone can tell me how to convert a .wav file to text.
