A fish-friendly reminder from the Ottawa Valley Aquarium Society…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please join us for an insightful talk on an evolutionary branch of fish keeping, where the land is no boundary!<\/p>\n

Alyssa Gonzalez has a scientific background and has been involved as a member with our\u00a0club for a number of years. She will be presenting “On Little Finny Hands: Fish That Walk,” a presentation about fish that walk, climb, venture onto land, and otherwise defy our intuition that fish must\u00a0swim. Alyssa will also dive into\u00a0some ground-breaking animal taxonomy along the way.<\/p>\n

We will have some open vendor\u2019s tables for people (including you) who want to bring some stuff to sell, so bring some cash, just in case.<\/p>\n
