Sal is an active hobbyist for over 40 years. It all started with one goldfish won at a
carnival. This one bowl eventually grew to a 55 gl tank which housed two
14" Oscars. Even though he has kept and bred a variety of fish "Cichlids"
are still his favorite.

Sal's tanks grew along with his breeding skills, and 40 years later he
currently has 10 running tanks, which range from 10 to seventy-five gallons.
One of the tanks is devoted to communities of Lake Tanganyikan Cichlids,
and five house several varieties of Apistogramma species, another of Sal's
favorite. The remaining tanks contain a variety of cichlids from West
African to tetras, catfish and a new found love “Bettas”.
Sal joined and became very active in the Norwalk Aquarium Society in
1975, where he has held every position in the club and presently serve as
the program chairperson. Sal's notoriety has spread far and wide, as he has
generously shared his knowledge and wisdom during many speaking
engagements throughout the Northeast and Europe. He has also written
many articles and honored with reprints in ACA's Buntbarsche Bulletin and
society magazines across the country and abroad.

Is this month's meeting an auction or table sales meeting? I've got some BAP fish I was hoping to bring if there's an auction.
