OVAS April meeting

[FishBuddy]

Many thanks to Charlie for inviting Ken to give a presentation....

It was very entertaining and I didn't know there were so many species of rainbows!  Rainbows growing to 7 inches long?  Wow, never heard of it!

The highlite of the meeting (at least for me!) was when Ken shows us a picture of the threadfin rainbow; aka Iriatherina werneri!  I told bitterman sitting next to me "That's what I have at home!  Same coloration, finnage, etc...."  Now, if I only learn how to breed them

To be honest, I was never fond of the rainbows prior to this meeting.  I thought they are just ordinary fish, just like others.  I will definitely pay more attention to this species of fish, especially if I ever want to set up a bigger planted tank...

Kudos to you Charlie!

I agree a lot of folks commented on how much different they look @ the rainbow fish now, it just amplifies my belief in this hobby, that if we allow ourselves to be exposed to all aspects of this hobby , how refreshing & rewarding it can be.
The true highlight of the night for me , was to see the interaction of all & sundry at intermission. The various groups of hobbyist just socializing & having a good time while enjoying the social convener`s treats was a great satisfaction to witness, big thank you to all 45+ of you that came out & made that happen.
Regards

We'd like to thank OVAS for the great camaraderie and hospitality you guys showed us.  It was very nice to meet another great bunch of "fishnuts" who may become bowheads.

I remembered to take pics of the way down and back, but totally forgot to take pics at the meeting.

I'd also like to thank the weather for the snow on the way back.... made it an interesting drive for a little while.....

Someday I will get my hands on some M parva, they have been my favorite ever since I first saw them in a magazine a few years ago.
