Anyone bringing driftwood to the auction Sunday?

CCA was planning to host the owners of Freshwater Exotics for a presentation in May, but of course that had to be rescheduled. They are an importer of South American cichlids, catfish (plecos/cories) and other fish. Instead, Freshwater Exotics has offered to livestream a tour of their fishroom, and they will answer questions that are submitted ahead of time via email. Chat will be disabled during the livestream, so submit your questions ahead of time. They can send questions to info@freshwaterexotics.com with the email subject CCA Live Stream Meeting Questions Please have them include with their question: their name and where they are from, what their primary fish keeping experience/interest is (Africans, South Americans, Breeding oddballs....etc). Those who submit a question with all the correct information included will be put in a drawing to win a FWE t-shirt.  :)  The question submission and t-shirt giveaway will only available to your club members and people you share this info with, not the general public who may also tune in to the live feed. Hope some people can make it, would be great to give them a large audience and several questions to answer. Link to the livestream scheduled for Saturday, May 9th at 2PM: https://youtu.be/NU413C2v7L0 You can subscribe to their channel, and enable a Reminder that will notify you prior to the start of the stream. For other information on their company, or to see some of their cool videos of collecting fish, check out their site www.freshwaterexotics.com
