In this episode, "Species Spotlight: Gourami", the Gettin’ Fishy With It crew delve into the world of gouramis. You might be surprised how many fish are classified as gouramis. From Siamese fighting fish to paradise fish, gouramis can measure a fraction of an inch in length to more than two feet long! This group is quite an interesting one. And they've adapted amazing ways to survive and breed in various environments. You won’t want to miss this one!
This podcast is brought to you by the royal gramma. These fish truly embody royalty. From their royal purple heads to their judgemental down-turned mouths they were born to rule. After spawning, the males spend their time guarding the eggs. No royal guard needed for these males. They get down and do the dirty work themselves. Hail to you, royal gramma as you continue to grace our oceans and our aquariums.

Species Spotlight: Corydoras Featuring Fishkeep and Chill
In this massive episode, "Species Spotlight: Corydoras", the GFWI crew invite our friends from Fishkeep & Chill (https://fishkeepandchill.com/), Nora Hickey and Jen Reynolds to talk about cory catfish! Cory cats are such awesome hobby fish and have great personalities. We go real deep into the classification, their care and best approaches to keeping them in the hobby. We are so thankful to have our friends The Fish Ladies back, and we hope you enjoy this MEGA episode.
This podcast is brought to you by the Lawnmower Blenny. These little herbivores live amongst the coral, scraping up and consuming algae, as well as sifting through the sand. In fact they aren't quite herbivores as they’ve been known to eat tiny invertebrates and detritus from the substrate. They are also incredibly aggressive toward other blennies so care must be taken when selecting them in the hobby. It would take about 1 million lawnmower blennies to cut the grass of a football pitch. And that is a statistic I just made up. Cheers to you, lawnmower blenny!
Be sure to check out Jen and Nora’s amazing site (https://fishkeepandchill.com/)! Here’s a link to the article mentioned in the episode, featuring Nora’s Corydoras collection (https://fishkeepandchill.com/inside-a-fish-vets-cory-catfish-collection/), and here’s one about Corydoras care, along with some other great beginner species (https://fishkeepandchill.com/best-aquarium-fish-for-beginners/). Fishkeep and Chill (https://fishkeepandchill.com/) has so much incredible content, you won’t want to miss it!

Chinook Salmon and Southern Resident Killer Whales (w/ Charles Bradfield)
In this episode, the crew gets schooled on the subject of conservation, Southern Resident Killer Whales and Chinook salmon. We humans historically haven’t made the best decisions as we develop and change the environment, and the repercussions for wildlife can be extensive. Whether its barriers to fish passage from dam building or habitat degradation and population collapse from overfishing, it can affect the food chain all the way up to the apex predator. Lucky for us, Charles Bradfield (https://www.youtube.com/@OkisolloChannel) is here to explain what he’s learned about how two incredible species, severely impacted by human actions, are inexorably interconnected.
This podcast is brought to you by the clown triggerfish. These saltwater marvels are a sight to behold. They swim using their dorsal and anal fins, similarly to the ocean sunfish. They delight in consuming shellfish and are some of the most aggressive species in the ocean. In fact, the name clown triggerfish should not evoke laughter but rather fear as they are not afraid of humans and not afraid to bite you. Cheers to you clown triggerfish, truly the clown of our nightmares.
Be sure to check out Charles’ Youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@OkisolloChannel) if you want to hear more from him!
The orgs that Charles mentioned in this episode are the Center for Whale Research (https://www.whaleresearch.com/), Save Our Wild Salmon (https://www.wildsalmon.org/), and Pacific Salmon Foundation (https://psf.ca/).
