Sharing here a link to a youtube video from a conference in VDA recently, where Benjamin Wilden participated from the Parosphromenus Project. The video is in german, but we will later post some more information about this conference, and other presentations on the conference, which has some importance for the PP as well.

AN OPPORTUNITY TO MEET IN PERSON — IGL MEETING 17 – 19 JUNI 2022
Our last international meeting in person was 2019 in Chester (UK). Due to the global pandemic situation, we were not able to arrange another meeting since that time. Today we still have issues with the risc of planning and later cancelling a meeting.
However, we feel the need to meet in person again and sensed a chance when the IGL invited us to join their meeting in Verden (DE). So if you are interested, save the date June 17th, 2022!
As the IGL is mainly a german organisation, most talks will be held in german. But we asked the speaker to use english slides if they give the talk in german. Apart from that, you will have the chance to meet and get to know us in the evening in an informal Parosphromenus-Project meeting.

Feeding Parosphromenus
.… means that you have to figure out many different ways of providing good live food as it is difficult to get them to take any other kinds of foods. Hatching brine shrimp is one of the foods which is often used, and we are often asked how to do this.
Depending on which way you look at it, brine shrimp hatcheries can be as simple or as complicated as you like and there are many designs on the market. These homemade hatcheries are used by our UK co-ordinator Kevin Marshall who has made them from 1 litre juice bottles along with a push fit on/off valve and a few odds and ends. While the overall design is one that has been around for a number of years the construction method is simple and cost effective.
I am certain there are many other ways of doing this, you are welcome to show us your way along with any tips and tricks that you have about brine shrimp in the comments below.
