Singapore, 15 June 1989

In 1989 the very first Aquarama took place in Singapore. It was the first International Fish exhibition & Conference to which Heiko Bleher had coordinated most of the international speakers from around the world; the championships of discus and other fish categories; gave the Keynote Speech and Seminars and judged the discus.

Heiko had invited such international authorities as Kamihata san from Hikari Company in Japan – the world expert on Koi (below); the president of OFI, Jack Ruysbroek (below left) of the Ornamental Fish International organisation which Heiko founded together with the help of Dr Martin Tripp and Dr Fuchs in 1976-77 (the dates given elsewhere are erroneous) and worked for years very close with the organizer (below right) to make this the most successfull aquatic event on Earth.

_{Fish prizes were give out to fish categories and certifications for Lecturers and judges.}
