Our in-house speaker for the September 13 meeting will be “our own” Mike Thompson. Mike’s informative in-person talk “Our Fish Room and How We Did It” will present how he and Tom Clinton set up their fish room, how they treat their well water to make their fish flourish, and how they have overcome some ups and downs with tank repairs and breeding attempts with angelfish and plecos. Tom got interested in the hobby when he worked in a pet shop when he was in his 20s, and he got Mike hooked into the hobby in early 2000s. They keep cichlids and plecos with a current focus on koi angelfish.
