http:\/\/ovas.ca\/forum\/index.php?topic=59728.0<\/a><\/p>\nOur presentation will be held by Jody McManus, many of you will know him from the Big Al’s East. The talk he will be doing is going to be Cichlids of the World pt 1.
\nA talk about cichlids in general, the discussing some specific species from different areas.<\/p>\n
Here is Jody’s Bio:
\nI got into the hobby in about 1987, with a 29 gallon community tank.
\nMy brother and I quickly got another, then another tank. He soon discovered girls, and that was the end of his aquarium hobby. I on the other hand, kept at it, and was keeping a bunch of different type of fish, but already my leaning was towards the cichlid family.
\nI was a member of the Saskatoon aquarium society for a couple of years, then moved to Ottawa, where I didn’t have any tanks for about 5 years. Then one tank, led to another, then another. Again, with many different types of cichlid.
\nAround this time, mid 90’s I joined OVAS, and soon after was in charge of the bowl show. Eventually, I would become Vice President, and then President of the club for a couple of years.
\nIn 1999, I started working at Big Al’s and except for a 4 month excursion to where I was working in Malawi, I have been there ever since.<\/p>\n
We will be having pizza as a little treat for everyone!<\/p>\n
Hope to see you all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
