Good evening everyone.
It is time once again for our monthly meeting. It will be held at Cramdon’s Tap and Eatery, 2950 Dougall Ave. on March 8 2020, with a 10 am start.
This month our bowl show will showcase barbs, danios and rasboras.
We will also have our mini auction and raffle as usual, thanks to our generous members donations.
This month we are glad to have Frank Aguirre back as a guest speaker. Mr. Aguirre is one of the most amazing, motivated, and energetic aquarist I had the pleasure of meeting.
Here is a bit about Mr. Aguirre!
Frank has been a tropical fish enthusiast since the age of five. He began by helping his mother raise pond goldfish in his homeland of Mexico. He set up his first aquarium at age seven. By the age of ten, he became an assistant at a small aquarium shop. During his teenage years, he learned the techniques and “secrets” of breeding from master breeders in Mexico City. In preparation for his career choice as a biologist, he went to the Polytechnic College in Mexico to study aquaculture. He then pursued a bachelor's degree in Biology. His ultimate academic goal is to obtain a Masters Degree in Ichthyology at Guelph University.
His life has been dedicated entirely to the study of fishes, with particular emphasis on reproduction and genetics. After publishing many papers and articles in a variety of magazines, Frank's next project, a book on tropical fish is a logical step. His repertoire varies widely in topic, ranging from the common to the unusual. As the president of Acuaprof Inc. Frank is now fully integrated in to the aquarium business and supporting the hobby trough his activities as member of the Canadian Association of aquarium Clubs CAOAC.
Presentation abstract:
Altum angels are a particular group of south american cichlids that
have been subjected to all sort of tales and stories.
Thanks to the technological advances of our time, one by one all these
myths have been falling like a house of cards.
This presentation deals with my study on this particular genus of so
called Angelfish and his methods of reproduction.
Where the altum angels come from, what they eat, how they live, are they
good candidates for my aquarium set up etc etc.
All these questions and more are be discussed in detail.
Hope to see you all on Sunday!
