July Meeting?

Post by DonkeyFish »

With the ACA Convention falling on our meeting date we do not want to conflict and had decided to cancel the July meeting. Recently members have been asking to reschedule so we would like to take a poll to see if enough members would come to a rescheduled meeting. We have two volunteers for hosts, but could use suggestions for a topic if anyone would like to offer!

I like to hear about keeping shrimp. What water parameters need to be monitored, what is their favorite food, how to slectively breed, etc.

I think Arlene suggested we revisit trimming methods --rather timely, since some of us are trying to do Dutch inspired tanks for the contest.

Both/either shrimp and trimming dutch would be helpful for me..

I think that during the September meeting, Rachel will be offering to do another group buy and she is coming to the meeting. Perhaps she can give a talk about invertebrates. She's really fantastic at this topic. I heard it early last year at a PVAS meeting and I was immediately hooked! She will make you want to buy every shrimp and other invertebrates that is offered in the industry!

As far as the July meeting, we should ask Kris and Ghazanfar to give a talk about trimming plants. I learned so much from them last year, and could use a refresher on the topic.

Rachel HAS offered to give and invert talk when she comes down this fall, so that topic is covered!

I don't know if I'll be able to make a meeting on July 30th, since I'll be flying in from the west coast very early Saturday morning... So, please don't count on me being able to do a trimming talk. Ghazanfar?
