Thursday, July 16th - History of the World Part I- The Jonathan Strazinsky Story

Jonathan Strazinsky, aka The Fish Guy, has been keeping and breeding fish for nearly 30 years. We first met Jonathan when we purchased our Oscar “Hurley”. Jonathan was an administrator and active member on Cichlid-Forum.com and helped us immeasurably in learning about South American cichlids. We met him in person when we first traveled to his club’s weekend show, the Ohio Cichlid Association’s Extravaganza. We have been close friends ever since. Jonathan’s fish room boasts between 2200 and 3400 gallons, depending on whether his showpiece DIY 1200-gallon tank is running. He keeps mainly Central and South American cichlids and Oddballs, and breeds many rare and difficult species. In his spare time, Jonathan builds tracks for his garden-scale trains with his 4 children. He and his wife also keep koi in outdoor ponds, 2 dogs, four leopard geckos, and two ball pythons. He is an OCA board member and Cub Scout den leader. His talk, “History of the World Part I- The Jonathan Strazinsky Story” starts at age 11 with his first tank and fish (convicts) and includes his days at Monster Fish Rescue, ideas for building large tanks and housing monster fish, and fish-room tips, tricks, and anecdotes.
