The announcement sent out by PVAS president Sherry Mitchell on the meeting:
On August 1st, PVAS will host Marc Weiss from Florida for his talk "Black Water Tails and Tales"which will focus on Discus, fish nutrition and his recent travels. Marc Weiss is an aquatic biologist and professional aquarist. He develops, manufactures and consults in the marketing of products such as foods, supplements, and medications for freshwater and marine aquariums, aquaculture, ponds, herps and ornamental pla nt culture. An avid diver and explorer; he often travels far from his Florida home on fishy endeavors. His first journey to the Amazon basin in 1974 opened his eyes to the biochemical interrelationships of the rain forest and reef environments and formed the basis of his future work. In the course of studying, finding and breeding discus, Marc introduced several unique discus specific products as well as new forms of discus to the hobby. He has lectured on discus and marine aquaria in both the USA and abroad, has been published in several languages, in both hobbyist and technical journals, and was one of the founders of the Discus Study Group in the USA and edited its publication, “DISCUSsions” for several years. This promises to be a great meeting! We will meet in the cafeteria of our regular meeting location, Green Acres School.
