We have another great speaker for our monthly meetings! 

Lee Finley, a world renowned authority on catfishes, will be giving a presentation on Corydoras catfishes.  Besides being a longtime member of the club, Lee just completed a long run writing the Catfish Corner column for Tropical Fish Hobbyist and gave the keynote address at last year's Catfish Convention.  Ironically enough, my kids know him as the famous guy they met at last year's fall fish show with a Cichlid (Chromidotilapia finleyi) named after him.  In addition, Lee is a great source for aquatic books (especially old and rare ones) and can always be found at our auctions. 

Also we have the elections coming up!  And don't forget about the bowl show, BAP and raffle.

Our 36th annual fall show and auction is August 28-30 this year!  And we're still at St. Joseph's church in Cumberland, RI.

The show and auction is open to the public, so come on down and check us out.

This announcement will be updated once we open registration and have the signup documents ready.  They will be posted on the Auctions and Shows page (currently has our spring auction information).

After a long absence, the bowl show returns to our monthly meetings! Russ Nordgren has been kind enough to take up the role of bowl show chairperson, so on your way out to our meeting, grab your favorite fish that matches the monthly theme and have some fun!

Of course, make sure you check out the current bowl show schedule, frequently asked questions and rules.

We have a new home!  Starting with the August meeting we will be in a new location.  The Rhode Island Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RISPCA) has been kind enough to let us use their facilities for our monthly meetings.  They can be found at  186 Amaral Street, Riverside, RI 02915 - Google maps.
