Don't look know, but our August meeting is only days away. Beat the heat in the air-conditioned splendor of the Green Acres Center. OK, maybe not much splendor, but there will be fish and plants.
This month we will be remembering Ron Leftwich in lieu of our regular Lightning Talk.
Feature Presentation: "A Beginning Freshwater Breeder’s Guide: Techniques, tools, triggers and tips"
by Dave McGrew
Description: For aquarists who are interested in learning how to successfully spawn and raise a variety of freshwater fish, this talk serves as a show-and-tell guide. From easy livebearers to finicky cichlids; from mop-spawning killifish to egg-scattering shiners; from bubble-nest-building anabantids to cave spawning catfish, a broad array of fish breeding techniques will be discussed. DIY Breeding tools will be shown and PVAS Club donations made available at the auction.
About Dave:
Dave McGrew and his young sons took a plunge into the deep end of the aquarium hobby just about four years ago. Always an eclecticist, he moved from a study in organic chemistry to music composition, taught fine arts in college for over a decade, and has worked as a Pastor for another ten years. Hailing from mountainous western Maryland, with soft tap water from reservoirs just over the Pennsylvania state line, the McGrews have been participating in PVAS BAP, selling to local fish stores, and shipping home-bred fish and plants to aquarists all over the country for the last few years.
It's time to get your fish entered into MyGroupAuctions.
We won't be having any hospitality, so remember to bring your own food and beverages. It's important to stay hydrated in this oppressive heat.
See you on Saturday, Patchin
