A fish-friendly reminder from the Ottawa Valley Aquarium Society…
Who said ponds had to big, and contain goldfish?! Our climate allows for so much more! Backyard water gardening can be achieved at the smaller scale as well!
Presentation
Backyard Tub Ponds [Eleonore Schmidt]
Eleonore Schmidt is a dedicated fish-keeper with 25 years of experience. Her work in many tropical countries has allowed her to blend her profession with her passion for fish-keeping, connecting with fellow enthusiasts and embarking on fishing field trips. Last time we heard from Eleonore, she introduced us to anabantids. This time, she will speak on starting small ponds in your backyard to house hardy tropical fish and grow water plants under the sun!
This meeting also includes our Mini Aquascape Competition (come and vote for your favourite!) and the annual Executive Election for our upcoming 2024-2025 season, starting in September.
Hope to see you there!
