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!

February 1, 2016 By Matt Grant 2 Comments

ATTN: MEETING IS NOW THIS FRIDAY joined with C.A.S.!

Our own Kevin Fehringer will be updating us on the C.A.R.E.S. program! Doctors, and universities, realized, that the best way to keep endangered species alive and well, were in fact aquarium hobbyists! If you do not know CARES is a program that is run by hobbyists such as yourselves, to dedicate at least one tank for the sole purpose of keeping a single species alive from going extinct. A lot of common fish are in the CARES program. Just because you see that fish a lot around in the hobby, does not mean it’s common in the wild, and could be close to extinct in nature. So this program helps keep track of who is keeping what fish to help keep track of the species conservation. Kevin will be explaining this in detail, and we are now making the January meetings, our “annual CARES update meeting”

We are also trying to bring in fish from www.davesfish.com for the mini-auction, with rare CARES listed only species. We will update you later on that.
