Hello All!
Sorry for the delay in sending the newsletter; I’ve been busy settling the gardens and Koi at my Koi farm in my yard. I am still not caught up yet dodging all the rain and cold weather we keep having. I think all the weather ups and downs are over. Hard to believe but our next meeting is this Friday already! It’s our last meeting before our send off for the summer hero party meeting in June.
At our last meeting my friend Basil from Norwalk Aquarium Society gave his presentation on tub gardens and raising fish outside for the summer. It really is lots of fun so get a tub or vat and try it. You can ask some of the members who have tubs what types of fish they have raised outside. Livebearers are the easiest combined with some live plants and you will have tons of babies by the end of the summer. Truly ask questions so you do not make the same mistakes we made in the beginning.
As you know Nick, my right hand running the club, could not be at the last meeting. He will also not be at the next meeting so any help I can get will be greatly appreciated. The meeting went off without a hitch, but I had to do Nicks half, and he is much better than me at being organized. There were not many entries in the fish show. Please bring fish for the show and auction. I saw a few members put fish in the show then bag them up for the auction. So, you can not only win a ribbon but get money.
Our next meeting is this Friday the 16th with the usual start time of about 7:30. Of course I will be there early at 6:30 to set up with Ray. There will be a presentation about raising daphnia for your fish. It’s probably one of the best live foods for your fish and easy once you know how. Set up a bucket or small tub before the meeting. I will be bringing small bags of daphnia to start you off. Of course, the usual door prize, raffle and refreshments.
See you there!!!
