Randy Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Hey All, I know that the Aquarist Podcast hasn't exactly been releasing on a regular schedule like the first year the podcast was out, but I am really going to try and make the effort to get a consistent release schedule going again. Hopefully this awesome community can help me crowd source some guest suggestions. I try to always be on the lookout for guests, especially those that don't already have a large social media presence. So please feel free to drop your suggestions and I will do my best to check them out and see if we could get something scheduled for an interview. Worst case scenario, I can squeeze @Cory and @Dean’s Fishroom for all they are worth as guests! 😜 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I think @Daniel would have some stories to tell. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Miller Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Gerald Griffin. Current Judging Board Chair of the International Betta Congress. And I believe a previous President of the IBC. He can tell you anything and everything about bettas - both wild and show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJE Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) I would love to see Coral Bandit(I believe his name is Mr Bandit on Youtube) be interviewed, he is one of the most knowledgeable ram breeder I've talked to. Also Richard Pulman is one of the most knowledgable shrimp/invert keeper I've talked to Edited October 7, 2020 by AJE 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 Thanks all for the suggestions so far! Sad to say at least 1 person suggested has declined me in the past. Albeit graciously. 😪 I will start looking into these folks and seeing if I can make something happen. Keep them coming! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston John Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 You could interview a wall and it would still be a great show! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mridul Singh Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 You can interview Gerry from Aqua Huna and extract more knowledge from him! (your longer format podcast can have more content than the Co-Op's video, just because of time constraints and Youtube algorithms) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mridul Singh Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Bob Steenfott would be a nice interviewee as well! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mridul Singh Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I realize I've just made comment after comment, so I'm going to make a list to make things easier. You can also try to get: Ryo Watanabe, Flynn (this time talk to him about his maintenance business) Zenzo again, Preston John (The world needs more Preston John) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy's Fish Den Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Chris Biggs "The Mad Aquarist" he has a YouTube channel. Bob Steenfott, I don't remember you having him as a guest yet. Jason from Jadren Aquatics, he seems to do a lot for the hobby I don't know the guys name, but has a YouTube channel called "Fishboy", does a lot of breeding, is planning to be opening an LFS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camsaquariums Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I would love to hear someone joey from king of diy or if you were wanting to talk saltwater i reckon reefdork would be really interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph’s Fish and Plants Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I think something interesting that no one else has mentioned would be fish store owners across the US that have been in the biz a long time. My LFS has been operating over 30 years and the owner really knows his stuff. I think it could also be a great idea because for a while now I’ve seen trends online of local fish stores dying out, and it could be a great way to help people find more knowledgeable LFS on their state or nearby to support. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega59er Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I suggest someone who has single handedly introduced and started hundreds, thousands, maybe even a million people to aquarium keeping; They have never shown their face and we've never heard their voice, so it would be a big first, but I recommend you contact the person who runs the Foo The Flowerhorn YouTube channel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I would love to! I sent them a message a year ago or so with no response. Alas, they will remain a mystery...at least to the podcast. 😪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
