Tropical Fish Society
of Rhode Island

This months presentation (Wednesday May 15th) will be titled “Water Quality and the Aquarist” and will focus on many of the water parameters that aquarists are most concerned with such as pH, ammonia, nitrates and nitrites, and more.  The presentation is geared to all levels, from beginner to the well-seasoned fishkeeper.  Richard J. Rego is past president of TFSRI, the Northeast Livebearers Association, and member of the Board of Governors for the Northeast Council of Aquarium Societies.  He speaks throughout the Northeast on several fish and aquarium-related topics.  Rick owns South Coast Scientific Scientific books, a business specializing in fish and aquarium books and other pet-related books and periodicals, as well as a full range of other natural science topics.
