One of the coral beauty fish that Kathy Leahy has raised from egg to settle and adult color.
We end our one-week hiatus with a terrific discussion with marine fish breeder Kathy Leahy. In the podcast we talk about fish breeding in general, the recent MBI conference, and, most exciting, Kathy’s success as the first person to raise the coral beauty from eggs to settle.
