Bob Fenner



Bob Fenner is a lifelong aquarist with an active and continuing involvement in the academic, journalistic, trade, and hobbyist sides of aquarium keeping. He is a former marine science and aquariology instructor at the University of California and in the California State University system.

Bob is the author of The Conscientious Marine Aquarist and has been a regular contributor to a number of aquarium publications, including Freshwater and Marine Aquarium, Tropical Fish Hobbyist, SeaScope, Pet Dealer, and several foreign hobbyist and business periodicals. He has been a speaker and judge at many aquarium conferences and events, with subjects ranging from cyanide collection of reef fishes to koi, shell collecting, and environmental, aquarium trade, hobbyist, and scientific topics.

He has worked in all phases of the aquarium business — as collector, wholesaler, jobber, retailer, hatchery worker, designer, manager, and owner. Bob lives in San Diego, California, and is both an active Hash House Harrier and an avid scuba diver, having completed thousands of dives throughout the Indo-Pacific region, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Baja California, the tropical eastern Pacific, and the shorelines of his home state.

His WetWebMedia site can be found at: http://www.wetwebmedia.com

His topic: “Acclimation, Dips and Baths… Oh my!”

Bob can be found on facebook posting beautiful pictures from his dives, and is always available to chat about all things related to the hobby. If you really want to keep him close, all you need is beer and pizza; they are an excellent lure.
