Presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
How Not to Build a Paludarium [Alyssa Gonzalez]<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Alyssa Gonzalez, a dedicated OVAS member and our current Auction Chair, presented one year ago on fish that walk on land! Keeping with the theme, featuring the land-water boundary, she will return to present on building a paludarium, a combination of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. There are always lessons to be learned when constructing these unique environments, and her talk will detail the dos and don\u2019ts of the building process and inspire your own builds.<\/div>\n
