Great meeting today!

[mchambers]

The speaker, Jeff Michels, was great! Well organized presentation delivered crisply.

Good auction, too, even if I was outbid on everything. . .

The talk was fantastic. He really showed how vast the area of "small" cichlids is. There were tons of fantastic photos and I learned quite a bit.

The tidbit about sexing certain species with the black pectoral fins for the females was quite neat!

Met a bunch of cool people today too.

 

[chriscoli]

Yep! Awesome talk!

 

[hollyfish2000]

A great standard for future presentations -- well delivered, lots of photos, and a good length!

[Red Nose Rummy]

Attended my first meeting yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed myself, as did my wife and "teen ager" son.

I love Apistos and keep several species, so the topic matter and speaker was something I was very interested in and yes, agree with the others - great prersentation.

Very nice items in the auction, really wish I had the tank space for the Victorian Quartet..

Glad to have now joined CCA, I like how "ya'll roll" and look forward to participating in the future!

Wonderful meeting - gave me so many ideas! I just wish I'd remembered something to take notes with. Think he'd be willing to share his presentation electronically?

I'm now on a quest to locate some Taeniacara candida. D_mn you, CCA, for bringing in speakers who divert my attention away from corydoras.

I agree with above coments. Nice, tight talk, with good visuals.

I agree - great presentation and meeting. I heard 85 attendees + kids = nearly 100!

We've got some great club sponsors selling Apistos and other dwarf cichlids. As much as it would be great to buy them for pennies on the dollar at our monthly auction, penny-on-the-dollar prices for rare fish tend to discourage people from selling rare fish in the auction...

[zackcrack00]

I went up and talked to him right before the auction and asked him a few questions like...
"How often do I need to feed the babies?"
"How do I sex them?"
And "When do I know that they can be paired off?"
These were all about the German Blue Ram Cichlid. He didn't go over these much, but gave intricate and very helpful answers to my questions. I really enjoyed this speaker's presentation!

 

[McGrubble]

This was my first meeting, too. Walked away with 21 fish and some awesome hornwort. My friend and I had a blast! Looking forward to future meetings.

 

[Pat Kelly]

Good meeting.
Great crowd. Like Matt said, I counted 3 times and 85 adults is a great turn out......

Thank you Jeff for taking time away from the wife, kids, job and such to come down and spend time with us.
