Hi there Fish Folks! New Changes Going on!

February’s Meeting is the start of the NEW TIMES! Meetings will be held on the second Friday of the month now, instead of the second Sunday. Next Meeting is Friday night February 12th at 7pm!

Sumer Tiwari, of playsofrays.com will be joining us, to cover the ins & outs of live fish
food cultures and will have multiple cultures for sale as well.
(Micro-Worms, White Worms, Grindle Worms, Vinegar Eels, Black Worms,BBS, etc.) Sumer feeds multiple live foods throughout the growth cycle of raising Cory’s, Rainbows, Betta’s & Cichlids in his own tanks. If time allows, Sumer is a very talented aquatic photographer, who has traveled the world, and shot some amazing photos and videos & will show us the very basics so we can try it in our own fishrooms! These topics should prove very informative & useful for our own tanks!

As a Bonus, Sumer will be photographing the first place winners of this meeting’s bowl show using one of his specimen photo tanks!

The Thorichthys “Red Aureum” Growth Contest is Due! and we will have another one available for purchase at the meeting!

As Always we will be having a Pot Luck, so bring goodies to munch on! Door Prizes! Mini Fish Auction, with fish brought in from davesfish.com!
