LARRY JOHNSON – SWIMMING WITH CICHLIDS
MONDAY, MARCH 23, 7:00PM, TOM BROWN ARENA, 2ND FLOOR



Larry will be presenting pictures and tales from his latest safari at Lake Malawi in the fall of 2014. He will also provide an update on the re-introduction of Pseudotropheus Saulosi at Taiwanee Reef, part of his involvement with the Stuart M Grant Conservation Fund. For more information on Larry, and to see some of his picture galleries, please visit his site: http://www.malawicichlidimports.ca/about/

He will also be bringing some of his prized livestock for auction at the event. Here are some of the species up for grabs:

• Aulonocara walteri
• Aulonocara Ngara flametails
• Aulonocara bicolor 'chitimba bay reef'
• Metriaclima zebra  Chilumba 'luwino reef'
• Metriaclima Callainos Pearly Zebra 'Ruware'
• Protomelas taeniolatus 'Namalenge Island' a truly awesome Red Empress!

This event is a great opportunity to see cichlids in their native habitat, ask questions on keeping various species, and even purchase some great quality livestock! Hope to see you in great numbers!

[Al]

Andre,
Please take my name off the list - I was just advised by a client that I need to be in Saskatoon on the 23rd - 25th. Great consolation prize, eh?
And I had already contacted Larry and was hoping to catch up.
Gotta do what you gotta do !!
Al

[ajm1961]

That's too bad - haven't seen you in awhile - would have been good to catch up. Hopefully we'll see each other at the Giant Auction.

[ajm1961]

Unless I get more RSVPs, I am reserving a table for 8 at the Prescott, starting at 5:00 PM:

Larry
Peter
Bruce
Art
Jody (if he gets a ride)
Mike L (maybe)
Me
1 other?

If you are not on this list and want to be included, please post!
Otherwise, hope to see you in great numbers at Tom Brown's at 7:00 PM for the presentation (plus 6 bags of cichlids to auction off!)

[Mike L]

 I am about 90% sure I'll be there but likely not until 5:30. BTW how long will the meeting run. I have never been before.
Mike

[Jody]

I will be there ride or not!
Just at the mercy of the bus schedule!

See you later!

Hey everyone,

We got word from Larry that he'll have 6 bags of premium fish available to buy tonight. Not sure what species, but these will undoubtedly be extremely high quality fish. Bring some cash if you're looking to add to your collection!

[ajm1961]

Based on what he told us a few weeks back - subject to change:

Aulonocara walteri
Aulonocara Ngara flametails
Aulonocara bicolor 'chitimba bay reef'
Metriaclima zebra  Chilumba 'luwino reef'
Metriaclima Callainos Pearly Zebra 'Ruware'
Protomelas taeniolatus 'Namalenge Island' a truly awesome Red Empress!

So, yes, bring cash!!
