2026 Toothbrush Drive
Goal: 500 or more toothbrushes, with or without toothpaste
Without oral health one cannot achieve general health! For those living along the Amazon River and its tributaries, this statement is so true. Many lack the basic necessities, including toothbrushes, we take for granted.
The PVAS Foundation is the proud sponsor of the 2026 toothbrush drive. Back in 2023 PVAS club members David Snell and Michael Barber hand-carried over 300 toothbrushes for distribution by Project Amazonas. Both directly supported distribution of the supplies to the communities they visited.

I purchased a group of these fish from a seller at the Keystone Clash in September 2025.
Placed the fish in a heavily planted 40 Breeder with dirt capped with sand as the substrate. Filtration by a sponge filter and a box filter.
I put a variety of pleco caves scattered around the bottom.
Water is 90% RODI water and 10% montgomery tap water, with periodic 25% water changes.
Initially I was feeding canned string beans and then blanched fresh string beans but these fouled the water, so I switched to frozen Edamame which I cook briefly and then remove them from their pods, and pop the beans out of their husks.
I also feed various types of algae wafers from various vendors.

Can someone start the mygroupauction for april 2026? Since it is a day long auction it might help to allow for longer time to post on the auctions site.

Hey all!
Sorry for the last minute post, but I am giving an artist talk today at the reception for my exhibition, Introspect.
The artist talk and reception is from 3pm-5pm at Goodwin House Bailey's Crossroads, 3440 Jefferson St., Falls Church, VA 22041.
It might be close to where some folks live. If you're curious about what I do when I'm not cleaning tanks, swing on by. The exhibition will be up through April 12, 2026.
Take care!
