Kevin Kohen
Drawing on Kevin’s vast experiences, this talk will address the important questions that most hobbyists are faced with when dealing with fish and corals.

Best practices in acclimatizing fish and coral
Treatment of Common Fish Diseases – What works
Care of fish in Quarantine
Getting difficult fish to feed
How to avoid Coral Pests
Dealing with Coral Pests in the aquarium
Kevin Kohen is the Director of LiveAquaria.com and has extensive experience in the Tropical Fish Industry. Starting his career and working for eight years in a retail Fish store, Kevin then moved on to oversee the operations of one of the largest Tropical Fish Wholesale and Import/Export businesses in the Midwest for over eight years. From there, Kevin ventured on to launch the LiveAquaria.com web site. Kevin has bred and reared nearly 100 species of fresh and saltwater fish and was one of the early pioneers in the U.S. to maintain live corals in captivity back in the early 80's. For over 20 years, he has been a leading advocate for specialized shipping techniques that ensure the health of aquatic life during transit.
Professionally, Kevin has helped pioneer important research studies in water chemistry management, filtration technologies, fish diseases, and acclimation techniques to safeguard the health of a wide range of aquatic species. Kevin designed our new Drs. Foster & Smith Aquaculture Coral Facility, and oversaw the installation of this new state-of-the-art facility. Kevin oversees the operations of the facility and is actively involved in the husbandry and propagation of all of the aquatic life in this new facility.

We have a 1030 TBall game. Unfortunately, we'd have to leave by 8 to really enjoy the day. Hopefully next time!

Hey Guys, Copps just signed up to make the trip from the south. I am sure some of you will have some questions for him as well!

This will be a good one to come to, Kevin is being flown in just for the occasion!

We have made arrangements for those traveling a long distance to get a discount at a local hotel, so come on and have some spring time fun!

I am going to make sure we(NCPARS) get more of our membership down your way this fall, and what a better time to get started on that by inviting us at our swap, you can have a few moments to speak on it if you like.
