| Meeting Synopsis
GWAPA invited past president of NANFA, Bob Bock, to speak about
native sunfish at our June 2008 meeting in Silver Spring, MD. While
this does not sound like a plant topic, it meshes well with our
two part native habitat theme for the May and June meetings. In
May, Nancy Rybicki of the US Geological Survey talked about native
plants, and in June Bob Bock filled the gap by speaking about native
fish. Bob did a good job recommending which native fish are suitable
for a planted aquarium.
Bob Bock, presenting about native Sunfish
Bob's presentation also compared sunfish to cichlids, and went
on to discuss a few other native non-sunfish that are interesting
to keep. We conducted our mini-auction as usual, and made a few
important announcements about upcoming events:
AGA Convention: November 14-16 in Atlanta, GA.
Don't miss out on Amano's return!
Luis Navarro - July 26th: GWAPA is flying him
in to present and do an aquascaping demonstration. A meeting not
to miss!
