The Sacramento Aquarium Society is excited to host it's very own Jan Nolta at our next general meeting. In her talk for the Sacramento Aquarium Society on February 1, 2025, titled “Natural Aquariums – Live Foods and What I Breed and Feed” she will discuss the hacks she has developed for raising and feeding various live foods and breeding pea puffers, wild Betta fish, Apistogramma, Kribensis, livebearers, medaka, rainbow shiners, plecos, catfish, different strains of killifish, Gilbert’s pygmy sunfish, and more!Jan started breeding fish at five years old, rescuing mosquito fish from the northern California rice fields as the puddles were drying up. As a kid, she dreamed of having a “real” aquarium setup, and she now has multi-tank syndrome with over 39 planted freshwater tanks around her home and office, including a 300-gallon aquarium with @Olliethepufferfish, a 14-inch freshwater Fahaka puffer. She has kept and bred different fish and aquatic creatures throughout her life, using natural planted tank systems and various live foods in her breeding projects.
In college, she bred Betta fish, developing a pure green strain that she traded to Capital Aquarium, which was once the largest aquatic store in Sacramento. At one point, there were over 200 containers of Betta fish in her condo! More recently, she has been fascinated by guppy tail and color pattern genetics. With her love of genetics developed during a lifetime of fish breeding, Jan pursued a career in human gene therapy and is now a Professor at the University of California Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, developing and delivering cell and gene therapies to human patients.
