Hiya folks!
It is almost that time again, our next meeting will be October 23, and we have a wonderful guest speaker for the night. Eleonor will be presenting Labyrinth Fish: so much more than betta splendens.
Eleonore Schmidt has been an avid fish keeper for over 25 years. She has had the opportunity to work in many (tropical) countries and combines work with her hobby through meeting other hobbyists and fishing fieldtrips. Although she has been and is keeping other fish, her passion are labyrinth fish and badis, the topic of this meeting’s presentation. As the title indicates, she will be speaking about the lesser known but not less interesting species from this family, including her own personal experiences with several of these fish.
As always, if you have stuff to sell, we can set up vendors tables, so bring cash if you are looking to shop..
Don’t forget, we have door prizes too!
See you then!
Jody
