Dave,

To be clear. I did no mean to criticize your hobbyist project. I
encourage you to continue. I just also think it is a good project for
a school science teaching program.

I, too, see it as a super "science-fair" type learning project. Unfortunately, since we lost Dr. Royal Ingersoll (Crystal Springs Upland School), I don't know of any active senior high-school programs that could pull it off. We have a couple of middle-school-level programs in the Bay Area, which is truly encouraging, but I suspect this one is at a much more advanced biology level.

Is there something we could be doing to get some programs going at the high school or AP levels? How about using AKA videos for local biology classes? Do we have to create expert killifish folk, like Royal, just to make anything work? Can we get appropriate fish to the students?

I'd love to see some creative discussions here on this topic.

I'm willing to expend some effort, 'cause it's a neat idea, but really do not have a very good feel for what would actually be productive.
