Paul has offered to open his fish room for a visit. This is an opportunity to visit with one of the leading people in the hobby. Paul has had over 146 entries in the HAP program and 74 spawns in the BAP program. Here are some of the highlights of his fish room: 800G planted display tank, 450G planted discus tank; two 200G, six 100G, and two 50G tanks. All of these tanks are custom made from glass, plywood and epoxy.

Use the back door, leave your shoes on!

THANKS PAUL!

 New Book Release Event
"Tetras and Barbs"

 

To all my friends and fellow members of MAS,
 
Underwater Adventures at the Mall of America will be hosting a release party for my new book, "Tetras and Barbs."  The event will start with a short program which will includes a couple of mini talks (up to 5 minutes) and a few words from me.  The program will start promptly at 3pm, Saturday, Feb 20 at Underwater Adventures in the Mall of America.  The event will be held at the Cabana Room which is just outside of the paid entrance to Underwater Adventures.  There is no admission to attend the book event and no obligation to buy a book.  But the UA Aquarium will be offering attendees discount tickets ($12.99) to see the exhibits.  I will have a good supply of books available for $10 each for anyone who would like to buy a copy.

 

 

Under the book's acknowledgements I mentioned the Minnesota Aquarium Society as having been "indispensible in building and sustaining my interests in keeping aquariums and breeding fishes."  It would mean a lot to me to have a strong delegation from MAS attend and share with me this brief moment of celebration.
